Acromion shape and its relationship with impingement syndrome

Abstract

Various factors have been claimed for the etiology of impingement syndrome. Although the slope of acromion has often been a matter of debate recently, there is not much known about the exact localization of the impingement, pathophysiology of the slope and its relationship with age. In this study, we investigated the correlation between acromion morphology, impingement syndrome and age in 100 patients comparing with a control group consisting of 100 healthy individuals. We classified the slope of acromion according to the supraspinatous outlet X-ray view. For statistical analysis, arithmetic mean of the classified data and t-test for comparison of the patient and the control group were used. In the patient group, there were 18% type I (flat); 58% type II (curved); 24% type III (hooked) acromions. In the control group, the rates were 27%, 60%, 13% respectively. Although the rate of type I acromions was similar to those reported in the literature, we found different results for type II and type III acromions (p< 0,05). It seems that type I acromion is especially prevalent in young patients, type II in the middle-aged and type III in the elderly. We concluded that the slope of acromion increases proportionately with age.
