Abstract
Trauma of the shoulder encompasses a wide range of potential injuries. The shoulder forms the articulation between the upper limb and trunk, with a close anatomical relationship to the neck and brachial plexus. Acute injuries can have large overlaps of presenting symptoms and many of the special tests we use are imperfect, and must be applied and interpreted in the context of the injury. It is important that a holistic approach is taken to the assessment of acutely injured shoulders in order to ensure injuries are adequately recognized and to guide appropriate further investigations and management. The purpose of this article is to provide a systematic approach to assessment of acute shoulder injuries and summarize the evidence base for special clinical tests that aid in diagnosis.
期刊介绍：
Orthopaedics and Trauma presents a unique collection of International review articles summarizing the current state of knowledge and research in orthopaedics. Each issue focuses on a specific topic, discussed in depth in a mini-symposium; other articles cover the areas of basic science, medicine, children/adults, trauma, imaging and historical review. There is also an annotation, self-assessment questions and a second opinion section. In this way the entire postgraduate syllabus will be covered in a 4-year cycle.
