Abstract
The shoulder joint is a complex articulation requiring coordinated interaction of bone and soft-tissue structures for normal function of the upper extremity. Trauma or overuse of the shoulder may lead to dysfunction requiring medical evaluation. Most shoulder problems may be treated without surgery by the primary care physician. Appropriate conservative management depends on an accurate diagnosis of the underlying pathology.
