Summary: | Others suggest the label of 'rotator cuff disease', 4 which might cover rotator cuff-related shoulder pain, 5 but these labels fail to take into account many other structures that possibly contribute to shoulder pain of the subacromial space, like the labrum or the biceps complex.

[...]the labels 'anterolateral shoulder pain' and 'shoulder pain of unknown aetiology' have been advocated. |
