The Frequency of Musculoskeletal Disorders and Nerve Entrapment Syndromes Around the Shoulder in a Cohort of Egyptian Patients

Musculoskeletal disorders are the most common causes of chronic shoulder pain, especially rotator cuff disorders. While suprascapular neuropathy is the most common neurological cause of chronic shoulder pain. The combination of musculoskeletal and neurological disorders together is also an important cause of shoulder pain in many cases, which may not be obvious and must be detected early to provide early and appropriate therapeutic intervention. Manual work is a risk factor for developing MSK and neuropathic shoulder disease.
