The results of 63 operative repairs of chronic tears of the
We compared the outcome of arthroscopic repair of the
Double-contrast shoulder arthrograms were performed in 20 patients at an average of 30 months after operative repair of a torn
Os acromiale is a rare anatomical abnormality and treatment is controversial. Our retrospective study analyses the outcome of excision, acromioplasty and bony fusion of the os acromiale when it is associated with a tear of the
