If conservative strategies fail after a 3–6 month period then surgery might be considered ... with conservative treatment Arthroscopic subacromial decompression is commonly performed and ...

Impingement syndrome and associated rotator cuff tears are commonly encountered shoulder problems. This condition is caused when the rotator cuff tendons rub the underside of the acromion bone.

In “Subacromial decompression versus diagnostic arthroscopy for shoulder impingement: a 5-year follow-up of a randomized placebo surgery controlled clinical trial,” published in the January 2021 issue ...

In arthroscopic surgery, however, many procedures have been extensively used without supportive evidence verified with RCTs. In this paper, we introduce two procedures (arthroscopic partial ...

thereby decreasing the need for arthroscopic subacromial decompression? SUMMARY ANSWER Compared with a control exercise group, patients in the specific exercise group had significantly greater ...

Australia Background Subacromial decompression surgery and rotator cuff repair surgery are often used to treat shoulder pain but evidence suggests these surgeries provide limited clinical benefit and ...

SAD—patients with a history of rotator cuff tendinopathy without a full thickness tear undergoing arthroscopic subacromial decompression due to failed glucocorticoid injection therapy. RCR—patients ...

rm.dk Objectives The primary aim was to examine exposure–response relationships between cumulative occupational shoulder exposures and surgery for subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS), and to ...

rm.dk Objectives We aimed to identify intensities of occupational mechanical exposures (force, arm elevation and repetition) that do not entail an increased risk of surgery for subacromial impingement ...
