OBJECTIVES This study aims to investigate the effect of acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) degeneration on orthopedic shoulder tests (OST) and to determine complementary role of ACJ injections in the treatment of subacromial shoulder impingements. PATIENTS AND METHODS At a secondary care center, 62 patients (56 females, 6 males; mean age 55.8±9.3 years; range 35 to 74 years) with the clinical and ...

BACKGROUND Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair generally has a good clinical outcome but shoulder stiffness after surgery due to subacromial adhesion is one of the most common and clinically important complications. Sodium hyaluronate (HA) has been reported to be an anti-adhesive agent in a range of surgical procedures. However, there are few reports of the outcomes of arthroscopic rotator cuff re...

Subacromial impingement is typically diagnosed in the older throwing athlete who has a stable shoulder. Often these overhand athletes will have a loss of internal rotation that may be refractory to stretching. Some have postulated bony adaptive changes in the thrower leading to internal rotation loss.1,2 These patients have a painful arc, positive impingement maneuvers, and respond affirmativel...

A 31-year-old construction worker had been suffering from both the motion pain and the restriction of elevation in his right shoulder due to severe varus deformity of humeral neck, which occurred after proximal humeral fracture. The angle for shoulder flexion and abduction was restricted to 50 and 80 degrees, respectively. Valgus closing-wedge osteotomy followed by the internal fixation using a...

BACKGROUND Scapular kinematic movement patterns between patients with subacromial impingement and healthy controls have been extensively investigated. However, a high degree of variability has been reported in the literature pertaining to differences between these 2 groups. PURPOSE To investigate the influence of subacromial pain on scapular kinematics. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory st...

The aim of the study is to determine which treatments for patients with subacromial pain are trusted by general practitioners (GPs) and physiotherapists, and to compare trusted treatments with evidence from a systematic critical review of the scientific literature. A two-step process was used: a questionnaire (written case simulation) and a systematic critical review. The questionnaire was mail...
