Coracoplasty surgery effectively relieved pain and improved shoulder function for patients with primary coracoid impingement syndrome. This surgical intervention demonstrated significant positive outcomes in managing this specific shoulder condition.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Shoulder Arthroscopy

Background:

  • Primary coracoid impingement syndrome causes burning pain at the coracoid process, aggravated by exercise.
  • A narrow coracohumeral interval is a key diagnostic indicator, often visualized via MRI and CT scans.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of coracoplasty in treating primary coracoid impingement syndrome.
  • To assess pain relief and functional improvement following surgical intervention.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving eleven patients (12 shoulders) diagnosed with primary coracoid impingement syndrome.
  • Surgical confirmation of diagnosis followed by coracoplasty.
  • Clinical outcomes including pain and function scores were assessed at an average follow-up of 2.7 years.

Main Results:

  • Coracoplasty resulted in statistically significant pain relief (P < 0.0001).
  • Significant improvements in shoulder function were observed (P = 0.006).
  • Positive treatment responses were noted in primary cases based on pain and function scores.

Conclusions:

  • Coracoplasty is an effective surgical treatment for primary coracoid impingement syndrome.
  • The procedure offers substantial benefits in pain reduction and functional restoration for affected patients.
