I tried to reflect my knowledge of shoulder pathology, from my years of experience as well as visits to the best shoulder specialists in the world.

This application contains information of interest on shoulder pathology.

It is intended for patients, medical students, nursing, physiotherapy, but also to general practitioners and specialists in Orthopaedics, Rehabilitation, Rheumatology, ..., because it contains both basic and advanced information, so
