| There was no impingement sign or any neurological deficits, such as sensory disturbances or abnormal reflexes. Indications for surgery were: (1) positive impingement signs,9 and (2) unimproved pain after a course of conservative treatment comprising rest, physiotherapy, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, and steroid injections into the subacromial space. All patients had at least one positive impingement sign (Hawkins or Neer test), and all patients had a painful arc except patient 5. |
