Summary: The study found that there is a significant reduction in acromial thickness within approximately 1 year post arthroscopic acromioplasty, along with the development of loculated fluid collection in the subacromial bursal space. Changes in acromial morphology postoperatively were not significantly associated with clinical or radiological factors.

Summary: The study found a significant association between coracoacromial ligament (CAL) morphology and rotator cuff tears, with the number of CAL bands being positively correlated with the prevalence of rotator cuff tears. Shoulders with more than one band on the CAL showed a higher proportion of rotator cuff tears compared to those with a single band.

Summary: This study found a decrease in the overall incidence of arthroscopic subacromial decompression (aSAD) in recent years in the United States, mainly due to a significant decrease in the incidence of aSAD as an isolated treatment for rotator cuff disorders.

Summary: This study found that the risk of surgery for subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) increases with the number of combined mechanical exposures, especially when force is involved.

Summary: This study aimed to characterize the anterolateral structures underneath the acromion, evaluate their relationships with surrounding structures, and verify the findings in asymptomatic shoulders of middle-aged patients without dissection artifacts. The study revealed that the anterolateral prominence corresponds to the attachment of the coracoacromial ligament and may be a native structure below the acromion, with continuous attachment to the deltoid middle head in the lateral acromion.

Summary: Subacromial impingement syndrome is a common shoulder disorder that requires a thorough understanding of the morphology and morphometry of the acromion process for surgical planning and treatment.

Summary: The CAM procedure without direct axillary nerve neurolysis or subacromial decompression is a valid alternative for young or active patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis. It improves shoulder function, decreases pain, and delays arthroplasty. The procedure has good subjective functional scores, high patient satisfaction, and a low rate of complications.

Summary: The presence of TDSCs and progenitor cells in tendon tissue has been established. They have multipotency and can differentiate through mechanical loading and signaling pathways. Age affects the activity and differentiation potential of TDSCs. The clinical applications of TDSCs in tendon healing are still unclear.

Summary: This study compared the results of functional and clinical outcomes between very low-volume corticosteroid injection (VLVCI) and high-volume corticosteroid injection (HVCI). The results showed that VLVCI is non-inferior to HVCI in terms of pain relief and rehabilitation.

Summary: This study aimed to determine whether acromioplasty reliably decreases the critical shoulder angle (CSA) and describe any associated complications. The meta-analysis showed that acromioplasty can significantly reduce CSA, notably in cases of high preoperative CSA. In addition, the effect of lateral acromioplasty on the CSA was more significant compared to anterolateral acromioplasty. Acromioplasty was not associated with complications during the short-term follow-up.

Summary: This online trial evaluated the effects of a patient decision aid for individuals considering shoulder surgery. The results showed that the decision aid had no impact on treatment intention, attitudes, informed choice, and decisional conflict, but had a small effect on improving knowledge.

Summary: The results of this study suggest that subacromial arthroscopic decompression without removal of calcific deposits can achieve excellent short- and mid-term clinical outcomes in patients with calcifying tendinitis, allowing them to return to work early.

Summary: The Indian hedgehog signaling pathway plays an important role in the development and healing process of supraspinatus tendon tendinopathy in a mouse shoulder impingement model. With the relief of impingement, tendon pathology gradually improves, while the signaling pathway and its downstream mediator GLI1 continue to increase.
