title: Shoulder injuries in the athlete.
abstract: Shoulder injuries are common in the athletic population. Injuries can be a result of repetitive overhead use or from direct trauma. Common injury sites include the rotator cuff, glenohumeral joint, acromioclavicular joint, biceps tendon, scapulothoracic articulation, and sternoclavicular joint. The identification, physical exam, and treatment options of these conditions will be discussed.
