Diagnostic accuracy of clinical tests for the different degrees of subacromial impingement syndrome.
TLDR
The combination of the Hawkins-Kennedy impingement sign, the painful arc sign, and the infraspinatus muscle test yielded the best post-test probability for any degree of impingements syndrome, including full-thickness rotator cuff tears.Abstract:
BackgroundSeveral tests for making the diagnosis of rotator cuff disease have been described, but their utility for diagnosing bursitis alone, partial-thickness rotator cuff tears, and full-thickness rotator cuff tears has not been studied. The hypothesis of this study was that the degree of severitread more

Fractures of the clavicle
TL;DR: Nonoperative treatment of displaced shaft fractures may be associated with a higher rate of nonunion and functional deficits than previously reported, and it remains difficult to predict which patients will have these complications.

Physical examination tests of the shoulder: a systematic review with meta-analysis of individual tests
Eric J. Hegedus,Adam P. Goode,Skye Campbell,Amy Morin,Michael Tamaddoni,Claude T. Moorman,Chad Cook +6 more
TL;DR: There is a great need for large, prospective, well-designed studies that examine the diagnostic accuracy of the numerous physical examination tests of the shoulder, and there is a lack of clarity with regard to whether common OSTs used in clinical examination are useful in differentially diagnosing pathologies of the shoulders.

Reliability and diagnostic accuracy of 5 physical examination tests and combination of tests for subacromial impingement.
TL;DR: The single tests of painful arc, external rotation resistance, and Neer are useful screening tests to rule out SAIS and the reliability of all tests was acceptable for clinical use.

Rotator cuff tendinopathy / subacromial impingement syndrome: Is it time for a new method of assessment?
TL;DR: The dilemmas associated with the current process of diagnosis of rotator cuff tendinopathy or subacromial impingement syndrome are focused on, and an alternative method for the clinical examination of the shoulder is proposed.

Anterior acromioplasty for the chronic impingement syndrome in the shoulder: a preliminary report.
TL;DR: Impingement on the tendinous portion of the rotator cuff by the coraco-acromial ligament and the anterior third of the acromion is responsible for a characteristic syndrome of disability of the shoulder.
