Introduction[edit | edit source]
Overhead throwing places exceptionally high stresses on the shoulder. The thrower's shoulder must be loose enough to allow excessive external rotation but stable enough to prevent symptomatic humeral head subluxations, requiring a delicate balance between mobility and functional stability. This balance is frequently compromised and believed to lead to various types of injuries to the surrounding tissues.[1]
Further Information[edit | edit source]
Treatment of the Thrower's shoulder is exceptionally challenging. Awareness and understanding of the throwing motion and the forces the structures are subject to are essential to diagnosis and treatment.[2] See Throwing biomechanics
Huge stresses are placed on the thrower’s shoulder during the overhead motion. Isolated injuries of the shoulder structures may occur, but more typically a cascade of pathologic changes is commonly in the overhead throwing athlete. Common injuries seen in the Thrower's shoulder include superior labral tears, partial-thickness tears of the posterior supraspinatus and anterior portion of the infraspinatus, a tight posterior capsule, and anterior instability.[3]
