Abstract

The subcoracoid impingement is a rare, painful condition and its diagnosis can be challenging and prolonged. In case of unsuccessful conservative treatment, surgical treatment is recommended which can be an arthroscopic coracoplasty or a coracoid osteotomy. In this case report we present a young, active patient with bilateral subcoracoid impingement, who was unable to work and play sport because of his anterior shoulder pain, and who has subsequently been treated by coracoid osteotomy with excellent results. The patients receiving this treatment could go back to physical work and sport without any complaint. The coracoid osteotomy can be an alternative surgical method in the treatment of subcoracoid impingement syndrome, especially for younger patients.
