Recent Advance.

After the advent of  shoulder arthroscopy, specific soft tissue injury entities have been recognised both after acute injury and due to chronic overuse (e.g. cricket bowlers) Some of the common ones are
1.SLAP Lesion 
2.Labral tears
3.Bankart's  lesion
4.Cuff tendon rupture
5.Osteochondral injury

All of these can be treated by Arthroscopic techniques and the patient can return to pre-injury status with the same functional capacity.
