Periarticular soft tissue conditions causing pain in the shoulder.
Pain originating in periarticular soft tissues of the shoulder is a common clinical problem among the aged patients of both sexes, but it has become increasingly frequent in young individuals because of a health-oriented life style. In the past year, a considerable progress has been made in diagnosing these conditions, especially with the aid of magnetic resonance imaging. Our understanding of the pathogenesis of these conditions, however, has advanced very little, and we hope that more efforts will be devoted in the future to elucidate how the periarticular soft tissues of the shoulder react to diverse injuries they are exposed to.
