Shoulder Impingement Syndrome - Everything You Need To Know - Dr. Nabil Ebraheim
Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describes shoulder impingement syndrome. Shoulder impingement can have many symptoms and there are many shoulder impingement tests and exercises that can be done. Shoulder impingement treatment and shoulder impingement surgery is explained .bankart lesion is shown .shoulder examination and rehab is shown .shoulder animation is also shown.
This is a common source of pain in the shoulder; you’ll find it in about 50% of the patients who come to the doctor with a complaint of shoulder problem.
Sometimes we call it cuff tendonitis, or shoulder bursitis, the patient is more familiar with shoulder bursitis, so we use that term.
It’s really an irritation of the rotator cuff and it can lead to break down and tear of the tendon.
It could be an overuse syndrome.
Shoulder anatomy:
- Scapula
- Glenoid
- The head of the humerus
- The rotator cuff muscles inserted into the greater tuberosity
- Above it is the bursa
- Above that is the acromion
You can see the shoulder joint different than the area where the bursa is, and in this dynamic view, as you lift the arm up, the tendons can be easily irritated, because there is bone above these tendons, and bone below these tendons, and as these tendons squeeze and irritate, it cause pain.
You diagnose this case by starting with the history:
Pain in the shoulder that increase by overhead activity.
If the patient has night pain, probably non-operative treatment will not work, it’s probably a cuff tear.
Examination:
- Warn the patient before moving the arm.
- These are called impingement tests.
- The whole idea with this test the head of the humerus will rise up and squeeze the tendons, and the patient will have pain and will stop lifting the arm up, and keep in mind; these tendons can progress to a full thickness cuff tear with the continuation of the irritation.
- Neer impingement sign: is when you get the impingement.
- Neer impingement test: when the pain is relieved after injecting numbing medication.
- Hawkin’s sign: bring the greater tuberosity under the acromion will lead to impingement.
Imaging:
- X-rays can show the bone spur of the acromion which is a prominence on the under surface of the acromion.
- This spur digs into the cuff.
- We get the true anteroposterior view x-ray.
- Get the scapular Y view lateral.
- The supraspinatus outlet view.
- MRI: is helpful as well.
Treatment:
• Non-operative treatment:
- NSAIDS
- Physiotherapy
- Subacromial injection: numbing medicine and cortisone
• Surgery: when do we do surgery?
- We do the surgery when you fail conservatively for about 4-6 months
- The surgery outcome is not as good usually with worker’s compensation claims.
- So we’ll shave the under surface of the acromion to make more room, we call that: subacromial decompression.
- If there is pain from the AC joint associated with the impingement, then you probably need to excise the outer part of the clavicle.
- You got the biceps next to the impingement, is connected to the rotator cuff associated tendonitis, then you may want to work on the biceps like biceptinotomy or biceps tenodesis.
The result of surgery is usually very good if you have:
- The proper patient.
- The proper clinical situation.
- Proper diagnosis.
- Positive injection test.
After surgery you give the patient a sling for few days, patient will return to normal daily activity in a day or two, in two weeks the patient will be able to lift the arm above the head.
At two months, the patient will have a near normal condition.
Complications of surgery:
- Usually it involve the deltoid, deltoid disruption, either the doctor will do acromionectomy, or excise an OS and that will lead to deltoid dysfunction.
- In the OS excision, you may Want that to heal first then later on you do the acromioplasty, axidently you will see that OS in an axillary view.
- Another complication is if you excise the CA ligament, in a patient with a massive cuff tear, in these type of patients, try to avoid the acromioplasty and the coracoacromial ligament release to preserve the coracoacromial arch.

Why would workers comp cases have a bad outcome? It's not about workers comp, it's about suing industry out of business so no one else is ever injured on the job again. Workers comp is a mafia organization that protects corrupt businesses that injured people from being sued out of business. When the first man that was injured on the job, the automobile companies should have been sued out of business before the first person was killed in a car accident. Do you really believe workers compensation has enough money to pay for my job injury? The Bible says an eye for an eye, tooth for tooth, life for life. If I lose an arm for the use of an arm they must lose the use of an arm. Gospel of Timothy

After having impinged shoulder aka bursitis of the shoulder for over 2 month i started brachiating . Hanging from a bar for 10 minutes a day and after 2 weeks the pain went away completely. I now include it as part of my workout routine. I hope this helps someone out there suffering from shoulder pain.

Excellent method of teaching God of kabbah bless u
Sir i.am.watching dr nabil Ibrahim s educational videos on all orthopaedic aspects since last 2 -3 years . I love there lecture and way to teach the whole functioning and layout and the follow ups after any complications in related ligament ,tissue, other injuries . I have been also passed through torn meniscus menisectomy and partial rim balancing of right knee due to torn meniscus of accidental injury and now I have been going shoulder right side immobilized with inflammation due to rhomboid and tendonitits ,bursitis and inflammation to the joint and the MRI reports shows first grade tare of muscle associated with bursa and I am following the treatment for that .I want to know that it can be heal by medications or I have to go for surgery ?
Sounds like Orson Welles. great stuff.
This was super helpful. I was wondering if you could please make a video comparing the different types of shoulder impingements (i.e. primary vs. secondary vs. undersurface) (the existence of these 3 different types are mentioned in "Rehabilitation of shoulder impingement syndrome and rotator cuff injuries: an evidence-based review")

Doctor can you make vid about impingment of ligament corocoacromial plz وشكر سلف
nice vidio thanks
thankyou for the video. i had an arthroscopic acromioplasty decompression, bursectomy and tenotomy. i have had 2 cortisone injections and none of these treatments have helped. my orthopedic surgeon didnt sufficiently answer my questions - so i still dont understand why my bicep tendon was cut when all my imaging said it was unremarkable. i had the surgery in Feb 23 and i still cant put my arm up to top shelf and other stuff. i am workers comp as u mentioned and dont get why that matters.
Sir, What you explain in this video, does it apply to posterior shoulder impingement ? Is the impingement is this video is the same as posterior shoulder impingement ? Thanks a lot
Is there pain in abduction or in forward flexion and adduction or in all
Ultimately, glenohumural centration is a vital key for the overall dynamic strength of the Rotator-Cuff.
Thank you, i could understand from this video. すごくわかりやすい動画。やっと理解出来ました。ありがとうございます。

Can I got this lecture in written notes so I can keep It?
Excellent video.. explained everything and cleared all doubts regarding shoulder impingement syndrome.
Thank you for a better understaning very lnformative
I have this in both shoulders for about 25 years... Have done every exercise possible, had 2 cortisone injectiojns, bs physical therapy crap, rest, ice, heat..... Most doctors don't really have a clue. I have diagnosed myself as either bone spurs or I was just born with a curved acronium at top which would explain both shoulders. Most have flat acroniums. If you have a curved; the tendons can "catch" on acromium... It's general research that is the best bet. Don't think all of these doctors even know. Now; I just know certain small exercises that make it feel a little better. Like simply letting your shoulder hang and moving it in circles. All you really need is somehow create some space in that joint.
Can this cause tiny boney lumps to form along the top?
I was told by my surgeon that bursitis was a separate thing. I'm having only bursitis issues post surgery after a smith and nephew patch was placed on previous tearing
Thanks doctor for everything 🌹🥀
Does anyone knows whether the shoulder bursa grows back if it is removed.
- If the patient get night pain, it is probably a rotator cuff tear and nonoperative treatment will not work. Dr Ibraheem thank you for awesome videos. Can you elaborate more on that please. I have been experiencing a lot of pain for a long time especially at night. Thank you
abduction in the scapula plane reduces the risk of shoulder impingement as compared to abduction in the frontal plane, does this mean that if i perform abduction in the scapula plane for patient with shoulder impingement syndrome they would feel lesser pain or no pain at all? if testing for shoulder impingement, is it best to only do it in shoulder abduction in frontal plane to check?
Thanks but do you have exercises for this

I only have poping sound in shoulder no pain..please tell what I have?
Why would workers compensation case surgery be worse than other normal people? Don't make sense
A possible cause of this impingement is the improper use of rucksacks or backpacks. Using too-heavy backpacks inappropriate to your body weight or height could cause shoulder impingement issues. This problem could be worsened with existing poor posture. So if you use only one shoulder to carry a very heavy backpack for too long, one of your shoulders will likely be in real trouble and can end up impinged.
But there could also be trapezius muscle involvement, too. Tight traps can also be a possible red flag to shoulder impingement - I had that impingement problem 1 year ago with subsequent "lock neck" syndrome, so it was a bit like having muscular dystrophy disease of a slight kind.

Yes, its posible. As any tight scapular stabilizer would restrict the free gliding of scapula, therefore it will change GH rythm.

جتني إصابة بسيطه جدا في الكتف الأيمن بسبب التمرين الخاطئ واستغرقني سنين حتى يختفي بدون تدخل طبي، وقبل سنتين تعرضت لحادث تشافيت منه بس بقي معاي إصابة الكتف الأيسر ورجعت للتمرين هذا الشهر لكن الإصابة بتعيقني لكن بحاول أقوي العضل لعل وعسى يختفي معاي، شكرا دكتور لمحتواك كان أفضل شرح وجدته عن هذه الإصابة اللعينة.
There is no such thing as overuse. The only reason a muscle/tendon would wear out is because if mechanical disadvantage or weakness, such as imbalance in rotator cuff muscles or most commonly bad posture and forward head. Rarely do doctors address this, so poor patients go under the knife and end up with a failed surgery(approx 59%) because the root cause was never addressed.
Why is the surgical outcome “is usually not as good in patients with workers’ compensation claims”.

Because they go back to work and the shoulder is damaged again. Plus worker’s compensation don’t want to pay for a reoccurring problem due to the patients type of work.

The surgery is usually not a good outcome for them with workman compensation claims? What in the hell is that supposed to mean? Not as good as who.. Compared to those with the same injury but not going for workman compensation.. What the hell is that sort of a statement meant to mean
... I can easily see people doing shoulder raise with internal rotation of shoulder in a gym. They are breaking their shoulders. However, body building trainers just teach their methods without study. Raising a dumbbell with internal rotation of shoulder should tear rotator cuff tendon sooner or later. To raise shoulder, external rotation of shoulder and tilting scapula anteriorly should be done to protect your shoulder. To find out root cause of your shoulder pain, hiring licensed physical therapist should be needed rather than hiring body builders.
I have impingement syndrome for 3 years, conservative and non conservative treatment so far without any long help. Surgical doctor said, that there will be more operation but guarantee to solve. I am getting afraid I have to live with my crippled arm. :(

Hmm, if you have tried everything so far. Try Shoulder pain Hypnosis. I have heard many positive results and since inflammation and healing is body's own mechanism it may heal you subconsciously through hypnosis. I am a physiotherapist and i try to consider all aspect of being human as our bodies are spiritual antennas aswell. Apart from physical side, we have great spiritual power hidden inside our body. Also, try to rub castor oil and peppermint oil and apply heat to help penetrate the oil deeper it will help your healing process as it is natural anti inflammatory oil. Good Luck
