Based on their clinical experience with the two cases described, the authors analyze the association between surgically treatable tear of the rotator cuff and neurologic pathology. A semeiologic sign is emphasized, which may be of help in differential diagnosis involving isolated lesion of the rotator cuff. Furthermore, after a review of the literature, the authors express doubts as to the type of surgical treatment to be carried out.

The authors report on a case of fracture of the coracoid process associated with fracture of the clavicle. Open reduction and internal fixation of the coracoid process lead to a good clinical and radiographic outcome.
Among cases of calcific tendinitis that are unresponsive to any type of non-surgical treatment, the authors report 3 cases, out of a total of 32 submitted to surgery, that presented with an osteolytic cavity filled with calcium salts in the insertional region of the supraspinous tendon. These patients presented with pain that they had been experiencing for an average of 4 years, with acute recurrent episodes. When this pathology can be determined radiographically, early surgery is recommended, considering that any type of non-surgical treatment is destined to fail.
A total of 100 cases surgically treated for rupture of the extra-rotator cuff were evaluated by isokinetic testing. Results were evaluated after a period of time ranging from 1 to 4 years, based on the Constant system, defining the type of lesion of the cuff based on the Snyder classification system, and measuring strength postsurgery using isokinetic testing after 3 and 6 months, and 1 year. Isokinetic testing made it possible to accurately evaluate which patients are capable of obtaining better recovery, and how much time is required for physiotherapy for postoperative rehabilitation, also allowing for correction on an individual basis of any muscular imbalance.
