Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints in the elderly. The rewards of accurate diagnosis and early treatment often elude the orthopaedist without a systematic approach to this region. A thorough understanding of shoulder anatomy, pain referral patterns, and the pathophysiology of the aging process must be combined with an awareness of the latest treatment modalities and surgical techniques.
肩部疼痛是老年人最常见的肌肉骨骼疾病之一。如果没有针对该部位的系统方法，骨科医生往往难以获得准确诊断和早期治疗的成效。必须将对肩部解剖结构、疼痛放射模式以及衰老过程病理生理学的透彻理解，与对最新治疗方式和手术技术的认识相结合。
