Impingement syndrome of the ankle is defined as painful mechanical limitation of full ankle movement secondary to osseous and/or soft tissue abnormality. These conditions occur more commonly in active people and athletes probably because recurrent subclinical injury is an important factor in development of the syndrome. Impingement syndromes of the ankle are categorized according to their anatomical site around the ankle joint. Anterolateral, anterior and posterior impingement has been extensively described in the orthopaedic literature. The purpose of this article is to review the clinical feature and management of anterior impingement syndrome of the ankle.

The purpose of this study is to investigate reasearch trend of acupuncture treatment on shoulder impingement syndrome. This study investigated the recent studies about acupuncture treatment for shoulder impingement syndrome via searching Korean and foreign electronic databases(Research Information Services, National Digital Science Library, Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integated Services, PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure). The search term was searched by combining 'shoulder impingement sydrome', 'subacrominal pain', 'acupuncture', 'needle therapy', and was limited to the articles published from 2005 to 2017. 14 studies were found to be analyzed according to the type of study, the number of cases, the type of treatment, the instruments for assessment and published year. 14 studies were published since 2005, 6 case reports, 8 randomized controlled trials. In the treatment of shoulder impingement syndrome, treatments such as acupuncture, acupotomy, pharmacopuncture, laser acupuncture, combined treatment of exercise and rehabilitation were performed. Visual analogue scale(VAS), range of motion(ROM) and various questionnaires were used as primary assessments. In each study, acupuncture treatment was reported to have a significant effect in the pain, range of motion and disability of shoulder impingement syndrome. In order to ensure objective evidence on acupuncture treatment, large scale case reports and randomized controlled trials should be continued.

Shoulder impingement syndrome is cause by the collision of acromion, acrominoclaviclar joint, coracoacromino ligament, coracoid process and synovial sac, biceps brachiialis tendon, rotator cuff muscle. Treatment for Shoulder impingement syndrome is genetally classified into two different methods; preservative method and operational method. Operational method includes rotator cuff sutura, anterior acromioplasty, arthroscope decompression. Preservative method includes rest, medicinal therapy, physical therapy. Physical therapy concentrates on pain control, functional recovery and prevention of disease progress. It is also important for physical therapy to maintain the strength of rotator cuff. Strengthening rotator cuff decreases the collision and helps the stability of shoulder joint. In conclusion, it must be aware that shoulder impingement syndrome and some other shoulder problem demand different treatment, which results in a better outcome.

Here, a case of a 59-year-old man with rotator cuff tear and impingement syndrome caused by an ossified coracoacromial ligament is presented. Ossification of the coracoacromial ligaments can occur because of degenerative changes due to trauma or repeated stress, which can lead to impingement syndrome. Therefore, when coracoacromial ligament ossification is present, rotator cuff damage due to impingement syndrome should be considered. Here, we conducted arthroscopic subacromial decompression, removal of the ossified coracoacromial ligament, and supraspinatus and subscapularis tendon repairs. We achieved satisfactory surgical outcomes without relapse; therefore, we report this case with a literature review.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to report the effectiveness of Chuna treatment and burning acupuncture therapy on shoulder impingement syndrome. Methods: Among the patients with shoulder pain, We selected 3 patients diagnosed as shoulder impingement syndrome by physical examination and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI). After Chuna treatment and burning acupuncture therapy, we evaluated the effectiveness by measuring range of movement(ROM) and checking The Shoulder Pain And Disability Index(SPADI) every three times the patients called at the clinic for three weeks. Results: The symptoms of the patients got improved relatively in short period considering shoulder impingement syndrome belongs to chronic diseases and steps chronical procedure in recovering. Conclusions: These cases showed Chuna treatment and burning acupuncture therapy could be applied on shoulder impingement syndrome and were effective for improving the symptoms. We suggest that further studies and clinical trials will be needed afterwards.

The ankle impingement syndrome is an established cause of ankle dysfunction. In most cases with suspected ankle impingement, the diagnosis can be possible on the basis of mechanism of injury involved and the clinical examination. An appropriate imaging study should be selected where clinical doubt about the exact diagnosis exists. Radiography plays an important role in the initial assessment of these conditions, especially in anterior and posterior impingement. Magnetic resonance arthrography seems to be the most accurate means of assessing the capsular abnormalities present in anterolateral and anteromedial impingement and for confirmation of possible concomitant injury. Surgical treatment can be considered for the patients who did not respond to conservative treatment for more than 6 months, and has a low complication rate and a high level of success.

견관절 충돌증후군의 원인은 다양하다. 대결절과 견봉과 같은 뼈의 변성으로 견봉 밑의 공간이 좁아진 경우나 회전근개가 약해지거나 관절주머니가 딱딱해지거나(capsular tightness) 상완관절의 불안정성으로 인해서 상완골두가 비정상적으로 이동하여 견봉밑의 공간이 좁아진 경우에 충돌증후군이 걸리게 된다. 충돌증후군에 걸린 어깨를 잘 치료하기 위해서는 견관절의 생체역학 해부학과 병의 원인을 잘 알아야 한다. 충돌증후군의 치료는 상완관절과 견흉관절의 운동을 회복시키고 회전근개와 견갑근육의 기능을 회복시키는데 초점을 맞춰야 한다. 또한 동적인 안정성(dynamic stabilization)을 향상시키는 운동들도 포함시켜서 치료한다.

Impingement syndrome is caused by a conflictual status between rotator cuff, subacromial bursa and anatomic and functional coracoacromial arch. The purpose of this study was to assessment the coracoacromial arch by MRI and to determine major factors among five components of coracoacromial arch. We analyzed forty-two cases of clinical impingement sign and test positive and postoperative confirmed diagnosed from March, 1991 to January, 1999. We evaluated acromial end abnormality according to the Bigliani acromial type and formation of osteophyte. Clavicular end abnormality classified flat, outward protrusion, inward protrusion to coracoacromial arch. Acromioclavicular joint abnormalities were advanced osteoarthritis and positive signal change. Coracoacromial ligament thickening was above 2 mm in oblique sagittal image. Coracoid process abnormality was inward protrusion to coracoacromial arch. All consecutive patients abnormalities were as follows: clavicular end osteophyte formation and inward protrusion to coracoacrmial arch were 30%, acromial end osteophyte formation was 28%, advanced acromioclavicular joint arthritis and osteophyte formation were 56%, coracoacromial ligament thickening was 24% and no coracoid process inward protrusion to coracoacromial arch. Impingement syndrome combined with rotator cuff tear group abnormalities were clavicular end(40%), acromial end(40%), acromioclavicular joint(20%), coracoacromialligament(20%) and coracoid process abnormality(0%) respectively. Only impingement syndrome group abnormalities were clavicular end(25%), acromial end(31%), acromioclavicular joint(62%), coracoacromial ligament(25%) and coracoid process(0%) respectively. Acromial type I(flat) were 6 cases, type II(curved) were 26 cases and type III(hooked) were 10 cases. We concluded that the most important contributing factors for impingement syndrome was acromial type and second was acromioclavicular joint arthritis and bony spur formation.

Purpose: This study investigated the differences in winged scapula between the symptomatic side and asymptomatic side, the reliability of the winged scapula test, and the correlation between winged scapula and the stability of the scapula in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome. Methods: Twenty-four patients with unilateral subacromial impingement syndrome participated in this study. Winged scapula was compared between the symptomatic and asymptomatic sides using a scapulometer. The reliability of the scapulometer was assessed by calculating the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM), and minimal clinically important difference (MCID). The correlation between winged scapula and the results of the upper quarter Y-balance test were also obtained. Conclusion: Winged scapula was significantly greater on the symptomatic side compared with the asymptomatic side (p < 0.05). High to excellent ICCs were obtained for the winged scapula test, and SEM and MCID values were obtained for winged scapula (SEM: 0.2-0.3 cm, MCID: 0.6-0.8 cm); however, winged scapula and the results of the upper quarter Y-balance test were not correlated. Conclusion: The scapulometer is useful for measuring winged scapula in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.
