Diagnosis and Treatment of Shoulder and Elbow Disease and Trauma 2.0

Dear Colleagues,

Shoulder and elbow pain is a common musculoskeletal condition that is recognized as a disabling problem and can be associated with substantial economic burden. The pain and disability associated with shoulder and elbow pain can have a large impact on individuals and their families, communities, and healthcare systems, affecting daily functioning and the ability to work. However, diagnosis and treatment of shoulder and elbow disease and trauma are sometimes challenging and are continuing to evolve.

The primary goals of this Special Issue are to advance the science and practice of shoulder and elbow disease and trauma; to describe new and established diagnostic and treatment modalities for shoulder and elbow disease and trauma; and to improve quality of care by encouraging the collection of scientific data and functional outcomes.
