The shoulder is one of the most complicated joints in the human body. Even though it is not weight bearing like the knee or hip, and even though it is not as large as the hip, there are many different ligaments, tendons, nerves, vessels, muscles, and other structures in the shoulder which are compressed into a smaller space. You also use your shoulder constantly, whether you are sitting, standing, or even laying down. Your hands and arms all function by and through the shoulder. If your shoulder is injured, you will have difficultly performing even basic tasks like typing, brushing your teeth, and even holding a utensil to eat or drink.
This is why a botched shoulder replacement is a very serious type of Minnesota medical malpractice.
