It will also hurt to reach the arm behind the back. People with shoulder impingement usually experiencegeneral stiffness and throbbing in the shoulder. This type of pain may resemble that of a toothache, rather than the tearing pain of an injured muscle. The person may also see or feel swell...
Five aspects of the acromial shape and morphology should be evaluated on each shoulder MR examination. 1. The morphology of the undersurface of the acromion should be described as follows: a type I acromion demonstrates a flat undersurface; type II acromion, a gentle undersurface curvature; ...
Conclusion: The study results revealed that injury of the rotator cuff muscles may occur more frequently in Type 3 acromion than in other acromion types because of the low subacromial distance value. Acromion types, especially the subacromial distance, must be considered in patients...
acromion typeacromial indexshoulder injuriesThe causes of degenerative rotator cuff (RTC) tears are unclear but certain acromion morphology may contribute. This study's objective was to determine using a systematic review and meta‐analysis the association of acromion type and acromial index with the ...
One case involved the left shoulder, and four cases involved the right shoulder. X-rays and CT were taken before and after surgery to assess the location of the fractures and the healing status. Clinical evaluation included the assessment of efficacy using the Constant-Murley scoring criteria and...
OBJECTIVE. To study the effect of rotator cuff rupture on shoulder function, and to document the acromion type and size of the subacromial space in subjects with and without rotator cuff tears. METHOD. The mobility (measured as range of motion with a goniometer) and streng...
This injury occurred in a 43-year-old recreational cyclist who injured his right shoulder through a direct blow. The fracture was exposed after the hematoma and the periosteum from the anterolateral portal had been debrided with a motorized shaver. The fracture was reduced by percutaneus pinning...
Osteophytes as a stigma for shoulder impingement syndrome and osteoarthritis of the acromioclavicular (AC) joint were studied on the acromions and AC joints in 346 skeletons (230 males; 116 females), ranging in age from 15-100 years. Osteophytes were found on 28.9% (200/692) of the ...
Seven of 8 patients had concomitant shoulder pathology which included either partial or full rotator cuff tears (n=6), AC arthritis (n=4), glenohumeral (GH) arthritis (n=2) and biceps injury (n=2). Six of 8 patients underwent additional procedures during the index m...
