Injuries of the shoulder and arm.
A systematic approach to the injured shoulder includes careful history taking and sequential examination of all anatomic components of the shoulder girdle in each and every patient. High quality radiographs, with two views at 90 degrees to one another, are essential. A specific diagnosis can and must be made on every patient with an injured shoulder to enable referral for proper care and follow-up.
