Shoulder pain is a common problem. The most common cause of shoulder pain is rotator cuff pathologies and subacromial impingement syndrome. The aim of this study was to present our open surgical results of rotator cuff tears with acromioplasty. Twenty patients who underwent surgery for rotator cuff tears and subacromial impingement syndrome were included in the study. Patients' age, gender, MRI findings, physical examination findings before and after surgery, and tendons affected during surgery were recorded. Shoulder range of motion and functional results were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively at the 6th month. Constant-Murrey shoulder scoring system was used for functional results. The mean age of our patients was 56,4 years, 11 (55%) were female and 9 (45%) were male. While 18 (90%) of the rotator cuff pathologies in our patients were degenerative, 2 of our patients (10%) were traumatic. According to MR (Magnetic Resonance) findings, 8 patients had Type 3 Acromion and 12 patients had Type 4 Acromion. The number of patients underwent surgery with general anesthesia was 12 (60%) and the number of patients operated under interscalene block anesthesia was 8 (40%). It was concluded that rotator cuff repair with acromioplasty would be more effective and better functional results in the shoulder rotator cuff and subacromial impingement syndrome.
