“…Two trials used an arthroscopic technique to perform subacromial decompressions, 7,8,19,20 1 study used open surgery, 32 and in another both were used. 31 Both methods seem to result in adequate subacromial decompression, 22,23,25 but according to some studies, the arthroscopic method results in earlier restoration in active range of motion and a quicker return to work. 25,33 In 1 study, coexistent rotator cuff ruptures were also sutured.…”

“…31 Several publications report good-to-excellent results for open and arthroscopic subacromial decompression. 22,23,25,33,35,37,41 However, are the results of surgery really better than those of conservative treatments? To answer whether surgery produces better results for SIS than conservative treatments, we performed a systematic review of RCTs to compare effects of conservative and surgical treatments for SIS in terms of improvement of shoulder function and reduction of pain.…”

Background: Platelet-leukocyte gel (PLG) is being used during various surgical procedures in an attempt to enhance the healing process. We studied the effects of PLG on postoperative recovery of patients undergoing open subacromial decompression (OSD). Methods: PLG was produced from platelet-leukocyte-rich plasma (P-LRP), prepared from a unit of whole blood. Forty patients were included in the study. Self-assessed evaluations, using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scoring system of activities of daily living (ADL), joint instability, pain levels, pain medications, and clinical evaluations for range of motion were conducted. Results: Platelet and leukocyte counts were significantly increased in the P-LRP compared to baseline counts. Treated patients demonstrated decreased visual analog scales for pain and used significantly less pain medication, had an improved range of motion during passive forward elevation, external rotation, external rotation with arm at 90° abduction, internal rotation, and cross body adduction compared to control patients (p < 0.001). No differences in the instability score were observed between the groups. Furthermore, treated patients performed more ADL (p < 0.05). Conclusion: In the PLG-treated group, recovery was faster and patients returned earlier to daily activities and also took less pain medication than control subjects.

“…Furthermore, studies have compared open with arthroscopic techniques [8,19]. The overall results are in favour of the arthroscopic procedure, in terms of greater patient satisfaction, improved cosmetic results and shorter recovery periods and sick leave compared with open surgery [8].…”
