  • Title: Rotator cuff injuries and treatment.
    Author: Browning DG, Desai MM.
    Journal: Prim Care; 2004 Dec; 31(4):807-29. PubMed ID: 15544822.
    Abstract:
    Rotator cuff problems are among the most commonly encountered disorders of the shoulder, and are commonly seen by primary care physicians. Their exact mechanism for susceptibility to injury remains unclear; however, with an understanding of the shoulder's anatomy and biomechanics, we are better able to treat the insults incurred on the cuff. Early recognition, proper treatment, and appropriate follow-up may expedite healing and prevent the occurrence of further injury or complications.
