purpose: altered kinematics of the scapula or scapular dyskinesis (downward rotation, anterior tilt, and protraction) contribute to impingement syndrome by decreasing the subacromial space. given the critical role of scapular position and movement in the function of the shoulder, the aim of this study was to compare scapular position and dyskinesis in individuals with and without rounded should...

BACKGROUND Hereditary multiple exostosis (HME) is characterised by multiple osteochondromas that are distributed throughout the skeleton, invariably involving the shoulder girdle. Tumours within the subacromial space can cause secondary irritation of the rotator cuff and result in subacromial impingement syndrome. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a 19 year old female patient with HME who present...

INTRODUCTION: Shoulder impingement and rotator cuff tear are commonly seen in shoulder pathology. Pathological changes the soft tissue around can be due to intrinsic degenerative tendons or extrinsic mechanical compression acromion types. Changes morphology have been postulated, which might one of causes syndrome tears. But few study results shown that role is doubtful. Our primary objective wa...
