In the confines of the spatium subacromiale, the anatomic structures are subjected to increased wear by friction and convolution. In case of compression syndromes relief is obtained by a partial resection of the acromion, by an acromio plasty, or by a complete removal of the acromion, i.e., the acromionectomy. By analysing the anatomic preparation we have found that a resection of the ligamentum coraco-acromiale and the anterior third of the acromion can give a sufficient decompression without any substantial disturbance of the mechanism of the shoulder girdle, while the acromionectomy implies an unnecessarily extensive procedure which involves considerable disadvantages for the biomechanics of the shoulder girdle.

Purpose Of The Study: Our objective is to introduce our simplified, easy-to-use classification of rotator cuff (RC) lesions, describe the frequency of individual findings in a considerably large series of shoulder joints examined by arthroscopy, evaluate the results of the operative management of individual lesion types, and recommend optimal surgical approaches.
Material: Over the course of 10 years (between October 1st, 2000 and December 31st, 2009), 756 arthroscopic operations on the shoulder joint were performed. RC lesions were identified in 516 cases.

Purpose: Plasty transfer using the coracoacromial ligament (Cadenat) for the treatment of acromioclavicular separation is usually too weak and too short. The authors used a reinforcement flap, made by a lateral supraclavicular detachment of the superior fibrous-capsular sheath.
Material And Method: Twenty-six acromioclavicular separations were radiographically studied using an axillary view.
