Dr Sushal Shanthakumar of Manipal Hospitals, Bangalore explains What Are The Common Shoulder Injuries Seen In A Throwing Athlete. 

Throwing is a complex motion which puts a lot of stress on the muscles and ligaments of the shoulder, which is why the athletes involved in a lot of throwing, like cricket bowlers, badminton, basketball and volleyball players, baseball pitchers are prone to shoulder injuries.  In SLAP tears (Superior Labral Anterior Posterior), the top portion of the ligament, the labrum is torn. This is especially common in cricket bowlers and tennis players. Other injuries include biceps tendonitis, biceps pathology and bicepts tears. In this case, repetitive throwing can put strain on the biceps tendons which can lead to inflammation and further, partial tears or full tears. Rotator cuff tendonitis and rotator cuff tears are other common shoulder injuries.  There is a condition known as glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) where the anterior capsule, or the tissues located in the front become lose and the posterior capsule becomes tight due to repetitive throwing. This can cause uneven movement of the shoulder joint leading to pain and restriction of internal rotation. The patient will typically have problems reaching behind his back.
