Shoulder joint mobility can lead to nerve lesions due to complex shoulder girdle dynamics. This article outlines common nerve lesions and provides a diagnostic and treatment algorithm.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Neurology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • The shoulder is the human body's most mobile joint.
  • Its structure makes it a critical pathway for nerves supplying the upper limb.
  • Complex shoulder girdle dynamics can precipitate or exacerbate nerve lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present commonly encountered shoulder nerve lesions.
  • To provide a diagnostic and treatment algorithm for these lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of common shoulder nerve lesions.
  • Development of a diagnostic and treatment algorithm based on clinical presentation and diagnostic findings.

Main Results:

  • Identification of prevalent nerve lesions in the shoulder region.

  • Outline of a systematic approach to diagnosing and managing these conditions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Understanding shoulder joint biomechanics is crucial for identifying nerve injury risks.
    • A structured diagnostic and treatment algorithm can improve patient outcomes for shoulder-related nerve lesions.
