Subacromial impingement: open versus arthroscopic decompression.

An analysis of the follow-up results of 53 patients treated by an arthroscopic decompression (AD) and 53 patients treated by an open decompression (OD) is presented. Patients were evaluated pre- and postoperatively with the UCLA Shoulder Rating Scale, which includes an assessment of pain, function, range of motion, strength, and patient satisfaction. After an average of 20.1 months for the AD group and 27.3 months for the OD group, good or excellent results were found in 83.1% in the AD group and in 81.1% in the OD group. Patient satisfaction was 88.3% (AD) compared with 94.3% (OD). Results of decompression in both groups were not influenced by associated pathologies (acromioclavicular degeneration, frozen shoulder, calcified tendinitis, rotator cuff lesions).

Shoulder impingement syndrome.

An analysis of the results of 53 patients treated by an open Neer decompression for chronic impingement of the shoulder is presented. Patients were evaluated pre- and post-operatively on the UCLA Shoulder Rating Scale, which includes an assessment of pain, function, range of motion, strength and patient satisfaction. After an average period of 27.3 months, good or excellent results were found in 81.1%. Satisfactory results (according to Neer) were found in 94.3%. Differential diagnosis of acromioclavicular pathology and cervical syndromes is important.

Acquired contracture of the infraspinatus muscle. A case report and review of the literature.

Congenital contracture of the infraspinatus muscle has been reported by K. Kitano et al. (1988). We describe a patient with an acquired contracture of the infraspinatus muscle causing posterior subluxation of the glenohumeral joint.
