ABSTRACT

Introduction: Anterolateral impingement is a common pathology in athletes; due to multiple forced mechanisms of inversion there are structures that are impinged in the anterolateral corner it. Conservative treatment has given bad results as conventional surgery impeding the athlete to perform his normal physical activity. Material and methods: We conducted a prospective, observational, and descriptive study in thirty-eight high performance athletes with anterolateral impingement and a poor response to conservative treatment. A single surgeon carried out arthroscopic treatment and specific rehabilitation treatment was done after surgery. Results: Basing on AOFAS scale we obtained 74% of good results, 21% of regular results and 5% of bad results. Conclusions: Arthroscopic surgery is the Ideal treatment for anterolateral impingement, radiofrequency systems permit a low rate of complications. Physical therapy and rehabilitation in the postoperative period must always exist.
