ns for the subacromial impingement syndrome: a systematiciew. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2011;92:1900-13.
Objective: To provide an evidence-based overview of theectiveness of surgical and postsurgical interventions for theacromial impingement syndrome.
Data Sources: The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase,Dro, and CINAHL were searched.Study Selection: Two reviewers independently selected rele-t systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials
CTs).Data Extraction: Two reviewers independently extracted data
assessed the methodologic quality.Data Synthesis: If pooling of data was not possible, a best-dence synthesis was used to summarize the results.Results: One review and 5 RCTs reporting on various sur-al techniques, and postsurgical interventions were included.derate evidence was found in favor of adding platelet-kocyte gel versus open subacromial decompression. Nodence was found for the superiority of subacromial decom-ssion versus conservative treatment in the short, mid, andg term or in favor of 1 surgical technique when compared
th another. Limited evidence was found in favor of earlyivation after arthroscopic decompression in the short andg term.
Conclusions: This review shows that there is no evidence thatgical treatment is superior to conservative treatment or that1ticular surgical technique is superior to another. Because of
ssibly lower risks for complications, conservative treatmenty be preferred. When choosing for surgery, arthroscopicompression may be preferred because of the less invasiveracter of the procedure.

HE SUBACROMIAL IMPINGEMENT syndrome (SIS)includes a number of pathologic entities: rotator cuff syn-

th SIS.3Work-related factors associated with the occurrence of SISlude handling of loads frequently or with high force, highlyetitive work, hand-arm vibration, work above shoulderel, and high job demands (high work pressure and highotional demands).4Affected patients complain of anterolateral shoulder paint is worsened by active lifting of the arm into the impinge-nt arc (60120 of shoulder abduction).5 Also pain at nightfrequently reported, exacerbated by lying on the involvedulder, or sleeping with the arm overhead.6
Various physical tests for diagnosing SIS have been de-ibed, but it remains difficult for physicians to differentiateween the different types of tendonitis and bursitis around theulder.1 According to Park et al,7 the best combination of
ysical tests to diagnose SIS is a positive Hawkins-Kennedypingement sign (pain and resulting facial expression whenlying forward flexion of the shoulder to 90 and internal
ation), a positive painful arc sign, and weakness in externalation with the arm at the side. However, although physicalts are important, they may not be sufficient for appropriategnosis, because most tests for SIS have greater sensitivityn specificity.8 Therefore, in addition to the patient history,ysical examination findings, and specific impingement testneuvers (eg, Neer and Hawkins-Kennedy), radiologic eval-ion with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging isommended.8Current accepted approaches to treat SIS include both con-vative and surgical management.9 Having clinical symptomsover 1 year10 and the severity of symptoms were reported

1901SURGICAL TREATMENT SUBACROMIAL IMPINGEMENT SYNDROME, GebremariamTs have been published, and we wondered whether theclusions made in the Cochrane review would remain thee or would need modification. In order to further optimizequality of care for patients with SIS given by clinicians andamedical staff, an overview regarding evidence-based in-mation is needed that can support developing evidence-ed treatment protocols and guidelines. The aim of the pres-study is to provide an evidence-based overview of the
ectiveness of surgical and postsurgical interventions for SIS.
METHOD
arch StrategyTo identify relevant systematic reviews and randomizedtrolled trials (RCTs) on SIS, a search was performed in the
chrane Library, PubMed, Embase, PEDro, and CINAHL upFebruary 2009. Key words such as shoulder impingementdrome and rotator cuff impingement and interventions wereluded in the literature search (appendix 1).lusion Criteria
Systematic reviews and/or RCTs were considered eligibleinclusion if: (1) the study included patients with SIS, (2)was not caused by an acute trauma or any systemic disease
described in the definition of CANS, (3) an intervention,luding a postsurgical intervention, for treating SIS wasluated, (4) results on pain, function, or recovery were re-
rted, and (5) a follow-up period of at least 2 weeks wasorted. There were no language restrictions.
dy SelectionTwo reviewers (L.G. and B.H.) independently applied thelusion criteria to select potential relevant studies from thee and abstracts of the references retrieved by the literaturerch. A consensus method was used to solve any disagree-nts concerning inclusion of studies, and a third reviewer.K.) was consulted if disagreement persisted.tegorization of the Relevant LiteratureRelevant literature is categorized under 3 different headers:tematic reviews describes all (Cochrane) reviews; RecentTs contains all RCTs published after the search date of thetematic review on the same intervention; Additional RCTs
Was the method of randomization adequate?Was the treatment allocation concealed?Was the patient blinded to the intervention?Was the care provider blinded to the intervention?Was the outcome assessor blinded to the intervention?Was the dropout rate described and acceptable?Were all randomized participants analyzed in the group towhich they were allocated?Are reports of the study free of suggestion of selectiveoutcome reporting?Were the groups similar at baseline regarding the mostimportant prognostic indicators?Were cointerventions avoided or similar?Was the compliance acceptable in all groups?Was the timing of the outcome assessment similar in allgroups?ta ExtractionTwo authors (L.G. and B.H.) independently extracted thea of the included studies. Information was collected on thedy population, interventions, and outcome measures. Thetcome evaluation was determined as short term if it occurredless than 3 months (after baseline), middle term between 4
6 months, and long term when the follow-up period wasger than 6 months.
thodologic Quality AssessmentTo identify potential risks of bias of the included RCTs, 2iewers independently assessed the methodologic quality ofh RCT, using the 12 quality criteria (table 1) of Furlan et
12 Each item was scored as yes, no, or unclear. High qualitys defined as a yes score of 50% or more. A consensuscedure was used to solve disagreement between the review-.In a (Cochrane) review the use of a methodologic qualityessment is a standard procedure. We describe the methodo-ic quality scale or criteria that were used in the review, ande used their definitions of high and low quality of theluded studies.
ta SynthesisA quantitative analysis of the studies was not possible due toerogeneneity of the outcome measures or study population.erefore, we summarized the results using a rating systemt consisted of 5 levels of scientific evidence (ie, best-evi-ce synthesis)13 (table 2). An article was included in the
st-evidence synthesis if a comparison was made betweenstudy groups (treatment vs placebo/control/treatment),
d the level of significance was reported. The study resultsre labeled significant if it reported significant results on 1the 3 outcomes.
RESULTS
dy CharacteristicsThe initial literature search identified 5 reviews via thechrane Library, 5 reviews/215 RCTs via PubMed, 21 re-ws/193 RCTs via Embase, 141 reviews/RCTs via CINAHL,
0 reviews/13 RCTs via PEDro were identified. Finally, 1chrane review and 5 RCTs (all found in PubMed) wereluded. The Cochrane review of Coghlan et al,11 studying theectiveness of surgery for rotator cuff disease, included 14ls; 11 (n611) of these studies reported on SIS (including

thodologic QualityTables 3 and 4 present the results of the methodologicality assessment.Two of the 5 included RCTs were classified as high quality.e 3 low-quality RCTs scored 33% to 42% of the total score.e most prevalent methodologic flaws were: (1) care providert blinded (75%) (as expected in surgery) and (2) no inten-n-to-treat analysis (75%) was applied by the authors of theTs. According to the authors of the Cochrane review,11 10the 11 RCTs had a high risk of bias, and 1 RCT had adium to high risk of bias; 6 items were used to score thethodologic quality of these studies.

. Ketoprofen Versus Placebo After ASDdditional RCT. A low-quality study28 compared ketopro-200mg once daily for 6 weeks (n21) with the placebo20) in patients who had ASD. After 6 weeks, the number
patients showing mild or no pain was significantly higher inketoprofen group compared with the placebo group (keto-fen: 16 of 19 vs placebo: 9 of 19, P.005). Further, sig-cant results (P.05) were reported in favor of the ketopro-group on the UCLA shoulder rating scale score, active
ward flexion, and active abduction at 6-weeks follow-up.ese significant differences on the short term did not sustain2-years follow-up. Therefore, there is limited evidence foroprofen after ASD in the short-term and no evidence in theg-term.
. Pain Pump After ASDdditional RCT. A low-quality RCT29 compared the use
a pain pump with 0.375% ropivacaine after ASD as add-onrapy with a rehabilitation group (n50). At 2-years follow-, no significant differences were found between the groupsthe UCLA shoulder rating scale score (P.845) and on thenstant score (P.243).There is no evidence in the long term for the effectiveness ofain pump as add-on therapy to rehabilitation after ASD inients with SIS.
DISCUSSIONIn general, patients failing to respond to conservative treat-nts are considered for surgery. In the present review nodence was found for the superiority of subacromial decom-ssion (arthroscopic or open) compared with conservativeatment in the short, mid, and long term. However, ourclusion is based on only 3 low-quality studies that includedmall number of patients. Although no significant resultsre found between surgery and conservative treatment, 1dy16 found better within-group results (ie, significant out-
e when the pre- and posttreatment results were compared)the conservative group, and another study15 found betterthin-group results in the surgery group. The third studypingement are associated with more complications andher costs than conservative treatment.15 One review foundrcise therapy to be 1 of the most effective conservative
ervention to treat SIS in the short and mid term (Gebre-riam, unpublished data, 2011). More studies are needed tother elucidate the evidence for differences in outcome be-een surgery and conservative interventions.If patients are treated surgically, either OSD or ASD can beformed. In the present review no evidence was found for theeriority of ASD or OSD in the short, mid, and long term.
is conclusion is based on 5 low-quality studies with rela-ely small groups of patients. ASD tends to give a fasterovery due to its less invasive nature.19,30 No trials werend that focused on defining an optimal timing strategy forgery; future studies should focus on this important topic.For within-surgery techniques, moderate evidence wasnd for the effectiveness of PLG as add-on therapy to OSD,
limited evidence was found for using electrocautery inD versus using the holium laser.
Only a few RCTs were found studying postsurgical manage-nt. Limited evidence was found in favor of early activationer ASD versus protective activation in the short and longm, and for ketoprofen after ASD in the short term (although
latter effect did not sustain in the long term). Thus, ifgery is required, it seems that postsurgical intervention canuence the outcome of surgery.
dy LimitationsThis review has some limitations. In general, the methodo-ic quality of the included studies was low; only 2 high-
ality RCTs were found. This may be a result of inadequateorting in the studies. Four of the 5 included RCTs failed tontion allocation concealment and whether or not cointerven-ns were avoided or similar.The included Cochrane review of Coghlan et al11 usedferent methodologic quality criteria compared with our cri-ia based on Furlan et al.12 Because of the high credibility andidity of Cochrane reviews, we decided to apply the meth-ologic quality criteria and definitions of high-quality and-quality studies used in a Cochrane review. However, the
ality criteria of the Cochrane reviews11 included fewer itemsn our 12 quality criteria, and high quality was not defined asleast 50% of the items were scored positive. This couldtribute to bias in the outcome of evidence and conclusions.we would we have used our definition that a study isssified as high quality if at least 50% of the items werered positive, 3 of the 11 RCTs would have been classified ash-quality studies (see table 3). However, in this case, ourclusions regarding the evidence for effectiveness of the
erventions would remain similar.Further, it should be addressed that the power of somedies was low, because only a small number of patients wereluded; maybe because of this, no statistically significantferences between the groups were found.
CONCLUSIONSThis review shows that there is no evidence that surgicalatment is superior to conservative treatment or that 1 par-ular surgical technique is superior to another to treat SIS.cause of lower costs and possibly lower risk of complica-ns, conservative treatment may be preferred to surgery.en choosing surgery, arthroscopic decompression may beArch Phys Med Rehabil Vol 92, November 2011

preferred because of the faster recovery of ROM and theminimally invasive character of the procedure. Furthermore,early activation postsurgery might have positive results butadditional studies are required to confirm this statement.
