Ultrasound diagnosis of subacromial impingement for lesions of the rotator cuff

چکیده
Definition One of the challenges for the diagnosis of subacromial impingement is the multiplicity of conditions with similar symptoms and variable clinical presentation. With no single aetiology, the clinical diagnosis of subacromial impingement has also suffered from a “lack of consensus on diagnostic criteria, case definition and even nomenclature”. For want of clarity, we suggest the following basic definition: Subacromial impingement is a clinical syndrome of anterolateral shoulder and/or lateral upper arm pain that occurs during elevation of the arm as a mid-range “painful arc” that, in lesions of the rotator cuff, is believed to reflect Ultrasound diagnosis of subacromial impingement for lesions of the rotator cuff

Subacromial impingement syndrome
Subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS) represents a spectrum of pathology ranging from subacromial bursitis to rotator cuff tendinopathy and full-thickness rotator cuff tears. The relationship between subacromial impingement and rotator cuff disease in the etiology of rotator cuff injury is a matter of debate. However, the etiology is multi-factorial, and it has been attributed to both extrins...
متن کاملDetection of subacromial bursa thickening by sonography in shoulder impingement syndrome.
BACKGROUND Normally, the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa is thinner than 2 mm using ultrasound examination. The subtle thickening of the bursa could be an early sign of subacromial impingement and possibly a rotator cuff tear. The aim of this study was to compare the thickness of subacromial bursa measured using ultrasonography in the painful shoulder with normal side, and also to differentiate Ne...

Subacromial impingement syndrome is a clinical diagnosis encompassing a spectrum of possible etiologies, including subacromial bursitis, rotator cuff tendinopathy, and partial- to full-thickness rotator cuff tears. This report presents an unusual case of subdeltoid lipoma causing extrinsic compression and subacromial impingement syndrome. The patient, a 60-year-old man, presented to our institu...

Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) represents a spectrum of pathology ranging from subacromial bursitis to rotator cuff tendinopathy and full-thickness rotator cuff tears. The relationship between subacromial impingement and rotator cuff disease in the etiology of rotator cuff injury is a matter of debate. Both extrinsic compression and intrinsic degeneration may play a role. Management inc...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of US, MR and MR arthrography in shoulder instability.
INTRODUCTION The aim of our study was to compare US, conventional MRI and MR arthrography findings in patients with anterior shoulder instability and with a clinical diagnosis of labral capsular ligamentous complex lesion. At the same time we evaluated the accuracy of MR arthrography in the diagnosis of this lesion. METHODS After approval of the local Ethics Committee, our department's Trauma...
