Subacromial Content to Subacromial Space Ratio in Neutral Position of the Arm as Diagnostic Criteria of Subacromial Impingement Syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Shoulder impingement syndrome is one of the main causes of shoulder disability of working-class individuals. Currently, dynamic sonography of the shoulder is the modality of choice for the evaluation of shoulder impingement syndrome. The ratio of subacromial contents (SAC) and subacromial space (SAS) in neutral arm position could be used as a diagnostic parameter for the subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS), especially in patients who have difficulties in the elevation of their shoulders due to pain. To use the SAC to SAS ratio as a sonographic criterion for the diagnosis of SIS.

Methods

SAC and SAS of 772 shoulders were vertically measured in coronal view with linear transducer 7-14MHz of Toshiba Xario Prime ultrasound unit, while the patient arm was kept in th
