Joint impingement, caused by tissue friction and altered biomechanics, affects the upper and lower limbs. This review covers key syndromes like rotator cuff impingement, carpal tunnel, and ankle impingement, aiding diagnosis and management.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Joint impingement arises from friction between joint tissues, leading to pain and altered biomechanics.
  • Syndromes are classified anatomically and clinically into bone impingement, soft tissue impingement, and entrapment neuropathy.
  • Understanding these classifications is crucial for diagnosing and managing joint pain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the most clinically significant impingement syndromes of the upper and lower limbs.
  • To detail the causes, clinical findings, and diagnostic signs of common impingement conditions.
  • To provide a comprehensive overview for clinicians managing joint pain.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of major upper and lower limb impingement syndromes.

  • Analysis of anatomical and clinical classifications of joint impingement.
  • Focus on clinical presentation and common causes of specific syndromes.

    • Main Results:

    • Upper limb: Supraspinatus impingement (shoulder), medial/lateral elbow impingement, and carpal tunnel syndrome (wrist).
    • Lower limb: Iliotibial band friction syndrome (knee) and various ankle impingement syndromes (anterolateral, sinus tarsi, anterior, posterior).
    • Entrapment neuropathies like carpal tunnel and tarsal tunnel syndromes are highlighted.

    Conclusions:

    • Joint impingement syndromes are diverse, affecting various joints in the upper and lower limbs.
    • Accurate classification and understanding of clinical findings are essential for effective patient management.
    • This review consolidates key information on prevalent impingement syndromes for clinical application.
