Ultrasonography. Subacromial impingement is the most common cause of shoulder pain which occurs as a result of compression of the rotator cuff muscles by superior structures (AC joint, acromion, CA ligament) leading to inflammation and development of bursitis.

The arthroscopic technique minimizes soft-tissue morbidity and the potential for postoperative adhesions. A patient also may present with weakness of the subscapularis and pain on biceps testing (eg, Speed test, Yergason test).2,11, Careful physical examination may identify causes of secondary coracoid impingement, such as generalized rotator cuff weakness in the presence of a massive rotator cuff tear, underlying glenohumeral instability, or space-occupying lesions (eg, ganglion or calcific tendinitis of the subscapularis tendon).13,20 Pain originating in the anterior shoulder following traumatic fracture, surgical realignment of the glenoid, or coracoid surgical positioning for instability procedures also may cause underlying coracoid impingement.3,21. Anatomic Study of Subcoracoid Morphology in 418 Shoulders: Potential Implications for Subcoracoid Impingement.

The arthroscopic approach permits evaluation and management of associated soft-tissue abnormalities, including those of the subscapularis, anterior distal supraspinatus, and long head of the biceps. This position leads to narrowing of the Coraco-Humeral Interval (CHI)-that is, the space between the coracoid process and the lesser tuberosity of the humerus. Most authors have identified coracoid impingement as a potential cause of anterior shoulder pain, particularly with movements requiring forward flexion, internal rotation, and horizontal adduction of the humerus.1 Subcoracoid pain can occur as a result of compression of the subscapularis tendon or biceps tendon between the bony structures of the lesser tuberosity and the coracoid process.1-4, Goldthwait5 first described coracoid impingement in the anterior aspect of the shoulder in 1909.

Coracoid impingement has been the topic of debate for a century. No study has documented outcomes following nonsurgical management of coracoid impingement.
