Abstract
|
|
|
|
Subcoracoid impingement resulting from abnormal contact between the anterosuperior humerus and the anterior coracoacromial arch represents an uncommon source of anterior shoulder pain. Certain operative procedures can also alter the relationship between the coracoid and the lesser tuberosity, leading to impingement of the interventing soft tissue, including the subscapularis and the bursa. We describe an unique case of subcoracoid impingement with the tear of subscapularis tendon after the internal fixation of the fractured coracoid process with cannulated screw due to crowding of the coracohumeral space. Arthroscopic removal of the screw and repair of the subscapularis in our patient resulted in successful resolution of his symptoms. Although subcoracoid impingement is a rare cause of shoulder pain, failure to diagnose and treat this condition may represent a significant cause of failed shoulder surgery.
