Abstract

Background and purpose

The purpose of our study was to present the spectrum and prevalence of intraarticular lesions in patients with shoulder pain after a single non-dislocating shoulder trauma and to evaluate the clinical results according to pathology and workers’ compensation status.

Methods

Sixty consecutive patients (61 shoulders) with shoulder pain following a single non-dislocating shoulder trauma had shoulder arthroscopy. The indication for surgery was either persistent pain for 3 months or longer after trauma and/or an intraarticular lesion on MRI. Patients with history of shoulder complaints, previous shoulder surgery, a complete rotator cuff tear or a fracture of the shoulder girdle were excluded. Intraarticular findings during shoulder arthroscopy were retrospectively analyzed. After a minimum follow-up of 1 year patients were contacted by telephone interview and ASES score, Simple Shoulder Test, Subjective Shoulder Value and residual pain were assessed for the entire population and for patients with and without workers’ compensation.

Results

The most common intraarticular findings were SLAP (44.3 %) and Pulley (19.7 %) lesions followed by lesions of the anterior or posterior labrum (14.8 %). The mean age of the 13 women and 47 men was 41.9 years (SD 10.9). Patients with workers’ compensation had significantly lower scores than patients without and had a significantly lower return to work rate than patients without.

Interpretation

In patients with persistent shoulder pain after sprain or contusion arthroscopy revealed a broad spectrum of intraarticular findings. Patients with workers’ compensation claims had worse results than those without.

Level of evidence

Case series (Level IV).
