Arthroscopic subacromial decompression (ASD) was performed in 88 patients (90 shoulders) with stage II or early III impingement syndrome of the shoulder unresponsive to nonoperative treatment. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the follow-up an average of 41 months (range 24 to 82 months) after surgery. We wished to compare results in (1) patients with and without rotator cuff tears, (2) in athletes and nonathletes, and (3) in throwers and nonthrowers. Patients were evaluated by (1) Neer's Criteria for Satisfactory Result, (2) the UCLA Shoulder RAting Scale, (3) the Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Rating Scale, (4) a detailed questionnaire, and (5) patient satisfaction. In the follow-up group (n = 90), 80% met Neer's criteria for satisfactory result; 94% had satisfactory results by the UCLA Shoulder Scale; 95% had a satisfactory result by the Shoulder and Elbow Society Scale; and 93% of shoulder patients expressed satisfaction at follow-up. There were no statistically significant differences in function between the group without rotator cuff tear (n = 47) and the group with rotator cuff tear (n = 43). Satisfactory results were obtained in 68% of throwing athletes and in 90% of nonthrowing athletes (P < .05) by the Neer Rating, whereas only 50% of competitive baseball and softball pitchers had satisfactory results. Out impression is that ASD is an acceptable alternative to open anterior acromioplasty with comparable results for the treatment of the impingement lesion. There were no differences in result in patients who had a partial rotator cuff tear and those who had no tear.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
