Abstract:
INTRODUCTION: There are three anatomic findings that correlate with a patient risk for developing anterior acromial impingement : acromial shape, anterior downsloping of the acromion. To analyze the effect of anterior and lateral downslopings and subacromial interval to the impingement syndrome retrospectively, the authors reviewed 32 patients who performed MRI of the shoulder joint in the Dankook university hoipital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighteen males & fourteen females were reviewed and the average age was 46.6 years old. There were 23 cases of impingement syndrome and 9 cases of control group. The authors analyzed oblique coronal images and oblique sagittal images in shoulder MRI.
