“…32,41,39,43,78 These investigators selected subjects based on the physician's diagnosis of impingement and were compared to healthy control subjects rather than differentiating shoulder conditions according to specific movement-system impairments. Ludewig and Cook 39 found that decreased scapular posterior tilt, decreased upward rotation, and increased scapular internal rotation are related to shoulder impingement.…”

“…Cuff-glenoid contact has been observed with the arm in abduction and external rotation (called ''internal impingement'') and with the arm in forward flexion (called ''flexion contact'') [7,18,38]. Cuff-glenoid contact with the arm in abduction and external rotation or with the arm in flexion has been documented in cadaver [36], MRI [16], and clinical studies involving arthroscopy [18,30,35].…”

Background One possible cause of shoulder pain is rotator cuff contact with the superior glenoid (cuff-glenoid contact) with the arm in flexion, as occurs during a Neer impingement sign. It has been assumed that the pain with a Neer impingement sign on physical examination of the shoulder was secondary to the rotator cuff making contact with the anterior and lateral acromion. Questions/purposes We determined if the arm position where pain occurs with a Neer impingement sign would correlate with the position where the rotator cuff made contact with the superior glenoid, as determined by arthroscopic evaluation. Patients and Methods We prospectively studied 398 consecutive patients with a positive Neer impingement sign during office examination and used a handheld goniometer to measure (in degrees of flexion) the arm position in which impingement pain occurred. During subsequent arthroscopy, the arm was moved into a similar position, and we measured the arm's position in flexion at the point the rotator cuff made contact with the superior glenoid using a handheld goniometer. We compared the degrees of flexion at which pain occurred preoperatively and at which there was cuff-glenoid contact.

“…Proposed mechanisms include eccentric tendon failure attributable to overuse [2,27], secondary impingement from instability [18,19], and internal impingement of the rotator cuff on the posterior superior labrum [16,17,19,40]. Most likely, these mechanisms overlap and contribute to each individual's rotator cuff injury to differing degrees.…”

Elite overhead throwing athletes with rotator cuff tears represent a unique group of patients with an ultimate goal of returning to their previous level of competition. We hypothesized débridement of small partialthickness rotator cuff tears would return the majority of elite overhead throwing athletes to their previous level of competition. Preoperative and intraoperative findings on 82 professional pitchers who had undergone débridement of partial-thickness rotator cuff tears were evaluated using our database. We obtained return to play data on 67 of the 82 players (82%); 51 (76%) were able to return to competitive pitching at the professional level and 37 (55%) were able to return to the same or higher level of competition. Of the 67 patients, 34 pitchers returned a questionnaire with a minimum followup of 18 months (mean 38 months; range 18 to 59 months). SF-12 scores were above average with a mean
