Shoulder Pathology in Sports

Sports injuries are on the increase, with the increasing interest and involvement in sports around the world. In Europe there is a large diversity of sports, with many sports being more prominent in certain countries. Although injury pathology is similar (e.g. a labral tear), the injury mechanisms are often unique to that sport and the rehabilitation and demands are also unique to the sport. In this Instructional Course chapter, we hope to show you some examples of this and highlight some unique and important current issues in the sports shoulder in 2014.
