title: [Impingement syndrome of the shoulder. 50 cases treated by Neer's anterior acromioplasty].
abstract: The authors present the preliminary results of 50 cases of impingement syndrome treated surgically using an operative technique which at least included an anterior Neer acromioplasty. Surgery was performed after a period of progression ranging from several months to several years. These included 2 Neer stage 1 (4%), 29 stage II (58%) and 19 stage III (38%). In all cases an anterior Neer acromioplasty was carried out. In 18 cases, an additional procedure was also performed (resection of the acromial extremity of the clavicle, suture of a rotator cuff rupture, resection reinsertion of the long head of biceps and an Apoil and Augereau deltoid flap procedure). Results could be assessed in 48 cases (2 cases lost to follow up). They demonstrated 31 very good (i.e. 64.5%), 12 good results (i.e. 25%) and 5 poor results (i.e. 10.5%).
