Rotator cuff, labral tears, and instability — diagnosis and treatment for active patients.
Overhead athletes (swimmers, volleyball, tennis) are prone to shoulder impingement and rotator cuff problems.

Rotator cuff tendinopathy, SLAP lesions, and anterior instability after dislocation.
## Treatment pathway
Physiotherapy first for many cases. Arthroscopic repair when structural damage or recurrent instability is present.
