RODRIGUEZ BLANCO, Carlos  e  OJEDA LEON, Heriberto. Arthroscopic decompression in the subacromial shock syndrome. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2001, vol.15, n.1-2, pp. 39-42. ISSN 1561-3100.

The subacromial shock syndrome is an affection that is closely associated with jobs and sports activities that require the elevation of the arm over 60° (swimmers, tennis players, pitchers, painters, decorators, etc.), causing a painful abduction that deteriorates the life style of the patients suffering from it. The arthroscopic bursoscopy and/or acromyoplasty together with the arthroscopic technique allow to solve the clinical picture with better results than the conventional surgery created by Neer due to the marked reduction of postoperative morbidity with a fast and important recovery of the capacity of mobility of the upper extremity. The experience obtained by the group of Arthroscopic Surgery of “Hermanos Ameijeiras” Clinical and Surgical Hospital, in Havana City, in the treatment of 105 patients with this affection from April, 1994, to June, 1997, is shown here. More than 80 % of the results were good with 17 relapses that needed conservative treatment without pulmonary or cardiovascular complications as it is reported in medical literature.
