Sports injuries of the shoulder.
Much strain is placed on the shoulder joint in all sports. Sports injuries may be caused by a single, violent incident. Fractures of the clavicle, acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular traumas, isolated fractures of the greater tuberosity and shoulder dislocations are frequent clinical pictures which today can be managed by well established procedures. Other sports injuries, however, involve over-use of the shoulder which, through repetitive harmful movements, can bring about microtraumatic lesions of the rotator cuff, glenoid labrum, acromioclavicular joint and certain peripheral nerves around the suprascapularis. In all cases, a programmed, comparative, clinical examination and complementary, sequential examinations will indicate suitable curative and preventive treatment.
