The most common shoulder pathologies identified in asymptomatic, non-athlete individuals include rotator cuff pathology, acromioclavicular (AC) joint pathology, labral tears, subacromial bursitis, and calcific tendinitis. The data in the current literature suggest that asymptomatic rotator cuff tears are diagnosed on ultrasound and MRI at high rates, suggesting that rotator cuff tears may be considered an age-related, normal, degenerative change. However, there are data to suggest that the presence of an asymptomatic rotator cuff tear on imaging may predispose a patient to shoulder pain in the future, although the data remain inconclusive. AC joint arthritic changes are also common in older individuals on advanced imaging. Recent studies have reported that labral tears are common in asymptomatic shoulders, although at less frequent rates than in athletes, but more research is required on this topic. In addition, the presence of subacromial bursitis on imaging has not been found to accurately differentiate between symptomatic and asymptomatic shoulders. Finally, calcific tendinitis has been diagnosed asymptomatically, with most individuals remaining asymptomatic. Individuals who did develop pain developed severe pain, although the risk factors for developing symptomatic calcific tendinitis are unclear.
