PY - 2021 T2 - Current Diagnosis & Treatment in Orthopedics, 6e AB - The shoulder is the third-most commonly injured joint during athletic activities, after the knee and the ankle. Sports-related injuries of the shoulder may result from a direct traumatic event or repetitive overuse. Any activity that requires arm motion, particularly overhead arm motion such as throwing, may stress the shoulder, resulting in injury. The glenohumeral joint of the shoulder is mobile partly from minimal containment of the humeral head by the shallow and smaller glenoid fossa. The trade-off for this mobility is less structural restraint to undesirable and potentially damaging movements. Thus, a fine balance must be struck to maintain full range of shoulder motion and normal glenohumeral joint stability.
