Abstract
Anterior shoulder problems are extremely common in throwing athletes. Coracoid impingement syndrome, lesions of the long head of the biceps tendon, and rotator interval lesions are included in the extensive differential diagnosis which exists for anterior shoulder pain. In this article, we focus on the anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and surgical treatment of these conditions.
