I've been told that many ordinary people walk around with slight sprains and tears in shoulder and knee joints and could live with these conditions, asymptomatically, for many years. I have no idea if this applies to professional athletes as well. But I wonder if this advanced detection might prompt surgeries that on paper are preventive and necessary but in reality may inadvertently violate the "do no harm" principle.
Yes, it's very common. You'd find them in many pitchers. There's been studies (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9042760/) like this one that show very intriguing results. Any new tech is going to have both positives and negatives. I think what it comes down to will be results, as always.
