Coracoid impingement causes shoulder pain due to reduced coracohumeral space. Surgical decompression by removing part of the coracoid relieved pain in all patients, with most experiencing complete relief.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Coracoid impingement is a cause of anterior shoulder pain.
  • It arises from encroachment on the coracohumeral space.
  • Symptoms include pain and clicking during specific arm movements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and evaluate a surgical technique for coracoid impingement.
  • To assess the efficacy of coracohumeral decompression.

Main Methods:

  • Coracohumeral decompression procedure involving excision of the lateral 1.5 cm of the coracoid.
  • Re-attachment of the conjoined tendon was performed.
  • The procedure was performed on eight shoulders in seven patients.

Main Results:

  • All patients experienced pain relief following the surgery.
  • Six out of eight shoulders achieved complete pain relief.
  • The surgical technique was effective in alleviating symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • Coracohumeral decompression is a recommended surgical option for coracoid impingement.
  • The described procedure offers significant pain relief for affected individuals.
  • This surgical approach effectively addresses the anatomical cause of impingement.
