Description

Snapping scapula syndrome (SSS) is a rare condition that is oftentimes debilitating. For patients whose symptoms are resistant to nonoperative treatment, arthroscopic surgery may offer relief. Because of the rarity of SSS, reports of clinical outcomes after arthroscopic SSS surgery are primarily limited to small case series and short-term follow-up studies.   In conclusion, patients undergoing arthroscopic bursectomy and partial scapulectomy for SSS experienced clinically significant improvements in functional scores, pain, and quality of life, which were sustained at a minimum of 5 years and a mean follow-up of 8.9 years postoperatively. Higher patient age, inferior mental health status, increased shoulder pain, and lower ASES scores at baseline were significantly associated with worse postoperative outcomes.     Click here to read the article.
