title: Shoulder arthroscopy in the throwing athlete: perspectives and prognosis.
abstract: The efficacy of arthroscopy of the shoulder has been demonstrated as both a diagnostic and an operative tool. The throwing athlete has benefited greatly from this procedure. Intra-articular pathology resulting from throwing motion overuse can be visualized and treated, with relatively little morbidity and a rapid rehabilitation phase.
