[Impingement syndrome of the shoulder in patients younger than 40 years, treated with partial acromion resection].

A retrospective analysis is reported of the results of partial acromioplasty of 22 shoulders in 19 patients with impingement problems. The population is younger than 40 years (mean 31). Four patients did not improve (18%). One (5%) showed a poor result and 14 patients (17 shoulders) (77%) had good or excellent results. The mean follow-up period was almost 3 years.

[Acromion resection for shoulder impingement syndrome. Results after an open and a percutaneous surgical method].

Anterior acromioplasty as described by Neer has been an effective procedure for shoulder impingement syndrome. Artroscopic acromioplasty is regarded as a technically demanding procedure. Since 1988 we have developed a closed percutaneous acromioplasty using motorized instruments. The purpose of this randomised clinical trial was to compare the results of open and closed percutaneous acromioplasty. We found a significant improvement in shoulder score, but no differences between the group treated with the open procedure and the group treated with the closed procedure.
