Implication

Retrospective study investigates postoperative subacromial impingement syndrome and its impact on recovery in elderly patients, suggesting significant effects on function and pain relief.

Key Points

  • To investigate the characteristics of postoperative subacromial impingement syndrome in elderly patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and its impact on functional recovery.
  • Retrospective analysis of clinical data from 150 elderly patients who underwent rotator cuff repair.
  • Patients were divided into impingement and non-impingement groups based on the presence of SIS at 3 months post-surgery.
  • Postoperative outcomes were measured using shoulder function scores and pain scales at multiple follow-up points.
  • 21.33% incidence of SIS observed among patients after surgery.
  • Lower function scores (CMS and UCLA) and higher pain scores (VAS) were significantly noted in the impingement group compared to the non-impingement group.
  • Overall recovery in the impingement group was continuously inferior despite gradual improvements over time.
