    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Sports Medicine
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • The shoulder joint is highly susceptible to repetitive microtrauma in swimmers.
    • This often leads to clinical issues such as subacromial encroachment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss the anatomy, radiographic changes, clinical findings, and histopathology of subacromial encroachment in swimmers.
    • To explain the roles of conservative exercises and surgical decompression in managing this condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of anatomical structures and biomechanics of the shoulder in swimming.
    • Analysis of radiographic and clinical diagnostic findings.
    • Evaluation of histopathological features.
    • Discussion of conservative and surgical treatment modalities.

    Main Results:

    • Repetitive microtrauma in swimming commonly causes subacromial encroachment.
    • Understanding the anatomy, radiographic, clinical, and histopathological aspects is crucial for diagnosis.
    • Conservative exercises and surgical decompression are key management strategies.

    Conclusions:

    • Subacromial encroachment is a significant issue for swimmers due to repetitive shoulder microtrauma.
    • A comprehensive approach involving understanding the pathology and employing appropriate interventions is necessary for effective management.
