What is ? Definition
Impingent syndrome describes pain in the subacromial space when the humerus is elevated or internally rotated
Impingent syndrome is thought to precipitate structural changes in the Rotator Cuff leading to Rotator Cuff tears
-
What is ? Anatomy
Functionally Shoulder = 3 joints
1. Scapulo thoracic joint
2. Acromio-clavicular joint
3. Gleno humeral joint
-
What is ? Anatomy
The Gleno humeral joint , a ball-and-socket joint is stabilised by soft tissue
AP view
Lat view
-
What is ? Anatomy
Bursa located between the acromion and the rotator cuff tendons prttecting from grinding against each other
-
Why people get ? Etiology Mech of injury
Etiological theories
Mechanical wear variations in shape of acromion Avascularity of supraspinatus tendonTrauma micro / macroAcromion variations

Who gets it ? Incidence
Impingement occurs to some degree in everyones shoulder on day-to-day basis
Age : 40 50
Physical activity : Labour / Sport / Trauma
Jobs: painter, carpenter, truckdrivers ( overhead activities )
Sports: swimming, tenis, baseball
-
How does it manifest? History
Pain is the main complaint
Ask for:- onset
- duration
- location
- timing
- quality of pain
Age > 40 Grey hair = Cuff tear
Onset / Timiningtrauma / overuse / overhead / repetitive activities
SleepPain at night / inability to sleep on affected side
Weakness
Catching & Crepitus
Reaching the back pocket
-
How does it manifest ? Physical Exam
Inspection - muscle atrophy / posture / position of scapula / deformities
Palpation - systematic / orderly soft tissue & bony structures
- tenderness greater tuberosity extension & internal rot
Reaching the back pocket
Range of movement
painful arc = 60 120 degree
-
How does manifest ? Physical Exam
Impingement Tests
1. Neer test
2. Hawkins Kennedy Test
-
How do we investigate ? Investigation
Radiography - osteophytes of the acromion
- two views mandatory (5-10 caudal tilt)
shape of acromion
Ultrasound - preferable requires experience
Shoulder Arthrogram - mainly for Rotator Cuff tears
MRI - v. sensitive , expensive
-
How do we treat? Treatment
Non operative treatment
Rest / Modification of activity
NSAIDs acute phase
Subacromial injection corticosteroid & local anasthetic
Physiotherapy stretching / strenthening
-
How do we treat ? Treatment
Surgical Treatment
Open : Anterior acromioplasty & coracoacromial lig resection
Arthroscopic : Acromioplasty
