Abstract
We surgically treated 6 patients with rotator interval lesions. Our diagnosis required (1) existence of shoulder pain, (and night pain), (2) existence of motion pain or limitation of range of motion, (3) tenderness of the rotator interval, (4) rotator cuff (supra spinatus tendon and subscapular tendon) are not torn, (5) arthrographic findings suggest a rotator interval lesion. Surgical procedure; coraco-acromial ligament is resected and coraco-humeral ligament is retracted, rotator interval is sutured side to side. Patients were evaluated acording to their JOA score. Mean preoperative JOA score was 65.5 and postoperative JOA score was 96.3.
