Conservative Management of Shoulder Injuries
نویسنده
چکیده
The shoulder complex has the greatest mobility of all joints. On one hand, this mobility is because of little bony congruity of its articulating surfaces. The joints of the shoulder complex have to rely on adjacent ligaments and muscles to provide stability. Consequently, they are susceptible to injury and degeneration. On the other hand, the shoulder complex is composed of the scapulothoracic articulation and the glenohumeral joint to share the overall motion and increase its range. This composition allows the involved muscles to work in the most efficient part of their length-tension c ~ r v e 8 ~ and the glenoid to be placed underneath the humeral head to bear some weight of the arm.4O

The objective of the present investigation was to analyse a clinical series of non-operated grade III AC dislocations and to determine their functional status. Thirty-five patients treated conservative...
