title: Shoulder injuries in the athlete.
abstract: Most shoulder injuries in the athlete can be managed nonoperatively; prior to any management, however, they require careful evaluation for accurate diagnosis. Once the diagnosis has been made, few of these injuries will actually require surgery and most will obtain an excellent result with full return to function. Several specific shoulder injuries are discussed and their treatment is outlined.
