Acromioplasty for impingement with an intact rotator cuff. Abstract Text:

R J Hawkins,R M Brock,J S Abrams,P Hobeika,

This is a retrospective review of 108 patients who underwent decompressive anterior acromioplasty for chronic impingement in the absence of a full thickness rotator cuff tear. Before operation, all the patients had had shoulder pain for at least one year despite conservative treatment. At operation, the rotator cuff tendons were explored and were intact. Anterior acromioplasty, followed by rehabilitation was successful in 87% of patients. The operation was less successful in women, in those who had diminished movement before operation, who were involved in worker's compensation claims, and whose pain followed direct trauma. Appropriate selection of patients is considered the key to success.
