A study of association between acromion types and shoulder pathology

INTRODUCTION: Shoulder impingement and rotator cuff tear are commonly seen in shoulder pathology. Pathological changes the soft tissue around can be due to intrinsic degenerative tendons or extrinsic mechanical compression acromion types. Changes morphology have been postulated, which might one of causes syndrome tears. But few study results shown that role is doubtful. Our primary objective was determine types their prevalence rate with MATERIALS AND METHODS: a prospective study. Eighty-five patients who met inclusion criteria were included According Bigliani et al., classified as type 1 has flat undersurface, 2 curved 3 hooked undersurface on supraspinatous outlet view radiographs. Types correlated pathology (shoulder tear). RESULTS: Out 85 pathology, 43 had 42 tear. Mean age for group 39.6 years it 58.6 years. Overall right affected more compared left shoulder. Type 64.7% population, 23.5%, 11.8%. CONCLUSION: In our study, frequently involving syndrome.
