Abstract

Rotator cuff-related issues and problems first appeared in the medical literature in the eighteenth century. A significant amount of knowledge was obtained on diagnosis and treatment over the twentieth century, most of which is the result of pioneering work of Codman and Neer. In this review, a chronological course of development is tracked to better understand future venues.
