Between 2000 and 2002 thirty four patients were evaluated after arthroscopic acromionplasty procedures. Patients had different shoulder pathology and were evaluated 15+/-1.2 months post operations through Constant scale and with x-rays. The mean age of patients was 42+/-6.5 years during operations. Twenty eight (82.3%) arthroscopic assisted acromionplasties results were good at the time of last follow-up. Final evaluation showed statistically significantly improvement of the Constant results from 26+/-6.24 preoperatively to 60+/-7.56 postoperatively (p<0.05).
