Summary

Introduction

The shoulder and elbow clinical cases in the exam consist of patients with good signs for you to demonstrate and are usually pain-free. However, as a subspecialty candidates are often nervous about the content. Stick to the principles of history and examination, and most diagnoses will become apparent.

Many of the cases illustrated in this chapter are from the previous long case examination. The cases themselves are equally applicable to the intermediate cases, but obviously require a more focused approach in the new format.
