Osteoarthritis
Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the degeneration of the joint's protective cartilage. It is the most common form of arthritis. Although osteoarthritis can damage any joint, the disorder most commonly affects joints in your hands, knees, hips, and spine. When this process occurs in your shoulder joint, which is uncommon, it can cause shoulder pain and stiffness.
