Abstract:
Although golf is becoming popular it can result in injury, usually from overuse and from poor technique. The shoulder is a commonly affected site, with the lead shoulder (or the left shoulder in the right-handed golfer) vulnerable to injury. With this study we tried to figure out any hyperlaxity of the lead shoulder using ultrasonography. 33 golf-players were investigated by questionnaire, clinical examination and dynamic ultrasonography. Neither clinically nor by using ultrasonography hyperlaxity of the shoulder was found. Nevertheless hyperlaxity followed by secondary impingement should be considered.
