title: Rotator cuff injuries in the throwing athlete.
abstract: Injuries to the rotator cuff have often been attributed to a progressive, degenerative process seen in the older patient. Traditionally, impingement has been implicated as the major etiologic factor. This paper will review the recent literature regarding rotator cuff injuries in the throwing athlete and examine the current thoughts on etiology and treatment.
