title: The diagnosis and treatment of shoulder injuries in the throwing athlete.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To discuss the general diagnostic and therapeutic considerations involved in managing patients with shoulder injury.
  
  
  METHODS
  Medline search going back 10 years, and using the key terms "throwing" and "shoulder injuries."
  
  
  RESULTS
  Papers which evaluated current treatment protocols as determined by previously published papers in peer reviewed journals or textbooks that had no confounding variables were examined.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The throwing motion is a complex maneuver which requires coordination of a variety of structures. Depending upon the specific kind of injury, rehabilitation may involve numerous different approaches. A 4-phase rehabilitation program is described.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Synthesis of the literature regarding management of throwing injuries is described.
