Abstract
|
|
|
Although shoulder pain is a very common problem and compromised shoulder movement due to pain, stiffness, or weakness can cause substantial disability, many patients fail to recognize a need for a proper treatment. The diagnosis and treatment of the shoulder should be specified for each of the disease entity. Most of shoulder pain can be managed non-operatively with a well-organized rehabilitation program. However, the surgery should always remain as an
option in case of failure of conservative managements, which can be seen from a definite indication of a patient¡¯s condition. The article presents four representative disease entities other than shoulder trauma occurring in old age which doctors see most often at outpatient¡¯s clinics. Impingement syndrome, rotator cuff tear, calcifying tendonitis, and arthritis are described in this article, introducing each diseases and surgical indications and descriptions, and their results.
