Publication date: Available online 23 March 2019Source: Surgery (Oxford)Author(s): Jonathan P. Evans, Paul GuyverAbstractShoulder arthritis is a painful and functionally limiting condition. Importantly, the overarching diagnosis of shoulder arthritis encompasses a cascade of pathologies affecting the bony and soft tissue structures of the shoulder. Although many surgical and non-surgical management options are available, effective utilization of these treatments is dependent upon careful diagnosis and consideration of the complex anatomy of the glenohumeral joint.
