Abstract
For shoulder surgeons, rotator cuff tears and tendinitis, frozen shoulder, and anterior shoulder instability are common diseases. On the other hand, you may encounter some rare shoulder diseases. I would like to pick up two cases of rare shoulder diseases: facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy and trapezius palsy. Both cases were treated successfully with functional recovery after surgery.
