AbstractShoulder pain is a common cause of musculoskeletal presentation in primary care, where both traumatic and atraumatic pathologies can also lead to emergency department attendances. This article discusses common acute and chronic presentations of a painful shoulder, looking at the typical history of patients presenting with a painful shoulder, examination findings and the most appropriate imaging modalities to consider. Strengths and weaknesses of each imaging modality are discussed along with their role in aiding diagnosis, as well as management of the various pathologies encountered in primary and secondary care.
