Internal impingement of the shoulder is a condition whereby there is excessive contact of the greater tuberosity of the humeral head with the poster-superior part of the glenoid when the arm is placed in abduction and external rotation. This leads to compression of the articular side of the rotator cuff tendons (supraspinatus and infraspinatus) and the labrum between these bony structures [1–3].

This may lead to:Articular-side rotator cuff tears
