N2  - The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of differentacromion types and to compare their subacromial distancesin symptomatic patients.METHODS:  The shoulder MR images of 100 patients having clinicalsymptoms were analyzed retrospectively. Acromion types werecategorized into four subgroups and the subacromial distanceswere measured. The study population was analyzed according tothe acromion types and the gender.RESULTS:  The mean age of the patients was 47.4±16.1 and didnot differ between males and females. There were 38 male and62 female participants. The frequency of four acromion types wassimilar in males (p>0.05), however signifi cantly different in females(p<0.05) as Type I was the most and Type IV was the least frequentones. The subacromial distances were signifi cantly shorter in femalesin comparison with the males (p<0.05). In addition, femaleType III acromions had signifi cantly shorter subacromial distancesin comparison to female Type I and Type IV acromions (p <0.05).CONCLUSION:  Type I acromion was the most frequent acromiontype in symptomatic patients. The subacromial distances weresignifi cantly shorter in females. Female Type III acromions had significantly shorter subacromial distances in comparison to femaleType I and Type IV acromions.
