Physical examination techniques

Based on a thorough literature analysis, committees of experts have analyzed the most important physical examination techniques of shoulder and elbow and compiled the most recent and recommendable tests in an overview. All tests are explained in pictures and for some video documentation is provided.

The Forum for Residents of the DVSE

The Forum for Residents of the DVSE was established as a platform for medical doctors, who have finished their medical school and are now on their way to becoming a specialist in shoulder and elbow surgery.
