Shoulder Disorders: Diagnosis and Treatment

Dear Colleague,

Shoulder pain is a very frequent complaint. Numerous pathological conditions, such as calcific tendinopathy of the rotator cuff, adhesive capsulitis, subacromial–subdeltoid bursitis, acromioclavicular or glenohumeral arthritis, tenosynovitis of the long bicep tendon, rotator cuff tendon tears, and numerous other less common conditions, may be the cause of painful shoulders.

The goal of this Special Issue is to include a collection of up-to-date papers focused on the diagnosis and treatment of all these conditions. Particularly, novel imaging methods for diagnosis and minimally invasive image-guided treatments used in attempt to alleviate painful shoulders will be included.
