Thoracic outlet syndromes in sport: a practical review in the face of limited evidence--unusual pain presentation in an athlete.
[thoracic outlet syndrome]
Despite
thoracic
outlet
syndrome
(
TOS
)
being
first
described
early
in
the
19
th
century
,
the
subsequent
literature
seems
limited
,
focusing
on
case
reports
and
investigations
providing
little
assistance
in
the
management
of
equivocal
presentations
.
Best
practice
clinical
management
,
with
little
evidence
base
,
poses
great
challenges
for
clinicians
in
deciding
how
to
manage
TOS
,
when
to
operate
and
which
procedure
should
be
undertaken
.
Furthermore
,
the
implications
of
TOS
and
its
surgical
effects
are
poorly
documented
,
with
little
evidence
in
the
literature
as
to
the
impact
of
surgical
intervention
on
athletes
and
their
physiology
or
function
.
This
paper
describes
a
clinical
example
of
TOS
highlighting
salient
issues
and
examining
the
evidence
to
guide
clinical
management
at
each
stage
,
in
the
case
of
a
26
-
year
-old
professional
football
player
who
suffered
an
acute
onset
of
unilateral
right
shoulder
to
bicep
pain
associated
with
tingling
in
the
hand
.
Clinicians
managing
similar
cases
in
the
future
will
have
a
reference
point
to
assist
their
diagnosis
,
management
and
promote
much
needed
research
to
further
our
understanding
of
this
difficult
syndrome
.
