title: Evaluation and management of disorders of the shoulder: Part I. Evaluation of the shoulder: examination in throwing athletes.
abstract: The shoulder has been the subject of many recent advances in orthopaedic surgery. Arthroscopic evaluation of the glenohumeral joint and subacromial bursa has enabled the physician to increase both diagnostic and management skills. In Part I of this series, the author presents an illustrated examination of the shoulder. A thorough history and comprehensive examination may lead to an accurate diagnosis and management plan, obviating the need for expensive ancillary procedures.
