N2 - Superior glenoid impingement is one of several combination injuries described recently. It is a fruitful area of research for new investigators. The diagnosis and treatment are fairly well established for athletes who are engaged in throwing-type activities. More work needs to be done regarding epidemiology to determine which individuals, especially nonathletes, are at risk because of stereotypical motions involved in their jobs. The clinical presentation also needs to be further defined for the nonathlete. There is always room for improvement in treatment, especially as new elements of the pathomechanics are elucidated.
