ArTHrOSCOPIC SuBACrOmIAL dECOmPrESSION
Arthroscopic subacromial decompression (ASD) is frequent operation on shoulder joint. Acromioplasty or subacromial decompression is operative technique for removal of mechanical barrier, which restricts physiological motion of humeral head, during abduction and external rotation movements of shoulder joint. This article explains a technique of arthroscopic subacromial decompression and our resu...
متن کاملFluid temperatures during arthroscopic subacromial decompression using a radiofrequency probe.
Our aim was to investigate the temperatures reached in the subacromial space during radiofrequency ablation of the subacromial bursa, in order to see if the probes generate sufficiently high temperatures to cause chondrolysis of the articular surfaces in the glenohumeral joint. We recorded the maximum temperatures in the subacromial space during arthroscopic subacromial decompression on 30 cons...
متن کاملArthroscopic Subacromial Decompression: Lateral Approach
Arthroscopic subacromial decompression (ASAD) is becoming a widely performed surgical procedure of the shoulder. The technique has evolved from open anterior acromioplasty as described by Neer,1,2 Hawkins et al,3,4 Rockwood,5 and Bigliani et al.6 The transition from open to arthroscopic technique entails a definite learning curve and should not be underestimated. This chapter focuses on the tec...
متن کاملReturn to work after arthroscopic subacromial decompression.
The incidence of arthroscopic subacromial decompression has been increasing over the last few years. Little is known about the duration of sick leave after such a procedure. The aim of this study was to determine the time till return to full duty and to explore the various influencing factors. We retrospectively evaluated a group of 166 patients who consecutively underwent arthroscopic subacrom...
متن کاملArthroscopic decompression for subacromial impingement syndrome.
Arthroscopic decompression and cuff debridement was performed on 47 cases in 45 consecutive patients with either stage II or stage III impingement syndrome: 19 with no actual tear of the cuff (stage II); 13 with a partial thickness tear (stage IIIa); 10 with complete tear less than 3 cm long (stage IIIb); and 5 with complete tear longer than 3 cm (stage IIIc). Patients were classified into impi...
