Abstract:
The shoulder is one of the most complex joints in the body requiring coordinated, functioning muscles and joints to have a fluid, rhythmic motion. The shoulder consists of the glenohumeral (GH) joint, the acromioclavicular (AC) joint, the scapulothoracic (ST) joint, and the sternoclavicular (SC) joint. This article will examine the shoulder anatomy, clinical syndromes, and treatment for common shoulder disorders.
