Sažetak

Shoulder pain is one of the most common causes why people come to visit orthopaedic
surgeons. It makes approximately 20% of musculoskeletal pathology. The shoulder`s biomechanical characteristics make it the most mobile joint but also one of the most unstable.
The resulting ‘freedom of movement’ of the joint predisposes it to a variety of conditions.
The causes of shoulder pain are: rotator cuff disorders, acromioclavicular joint disease,
“frozen shoulder” and glenohumeral arthrosis. Shoulder problems tend to present mainly as pain, but it is not uncommon to have associated stiffness and restriction of movement.
Due to the pivotal role the shoulder has in daily activities, it is essential that a good diagnosis of the principal shoulder pathology is made and a prompt recovery is started.
