Some risk factors have been identified in the literature, but consensus is still lacking. ## Objectives: To identify risk factors of overuse shoulder injury in overhead athletes, as described in the literature. ## Data Sources: A systematic review of the literature from the years 1970 to 2018 was performed using 2 electronic databases: PubMed and Scopus. ## Study Selection: Prospective studies, written in English, that described at least 1 risk factor associated with overuse shoulder injuries in overhead sports (volleyball, handball, basketball, swimming, water polo, badminton, baseball, and tennis) were considered for analysis. ## Study Design: Systematic review. ## Level of Evidence: Level 3. ## Data Extraction: Data were extracted from 25 studies.
