Superior glenoid impingement.
Superior glenoid impingement, a recently recognized mechanism of injury, puts five structures at risk: (1) the rotator cuff, (2) the superior labrum, (3) the greater tuberosity, (4) the superior glenoid, and (5) the inferior glenohumeral ligament. The clinical picture depends on which structures are injured and is still poorly described; however, the natural history is comprehensive for overhead athletes.
