Abstract:
Shoulder impingement syndrome and acromioclavicular
joint osteoarthritis often occur simultaneously and
easily missed. Kay et al. reported excellent results with
combined arthroscopic subacromial decompression and
resection of the distal end of the clavicle in patients with
both disorders1
. Arthroscopic treatment of these disorders
produces more favourable results than open procedures.
We report two patients who were not responding to
conservative management and were treated with direct
arthroscopic distal clavicle excision and subacromial
decompression in single setting. Both patients gained good
postoperative outcome in terms of pain score, function and
strength improvement assessed objectively with visual
analogue score (VAS) and University of California Los
Angeles Score (UCLA).
