Case description

Shoulder impingement is a common cause of shoulder pain in approximately 50% of patients reporting shoulder problems. It may also be referred to as cuff tendonitis or shoulder bursitis, which is more familiar to patients. This condition involves irritation of the rotator cuff tendons, which, if untreated, can result in tendon degeneration or tears, often due to overuse.
