About Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Shoulder Impingement Syndrome in pediatric patients involves the compression of the rotator cuff tendons and bursa between the humeral head and the acromion (the bony arch of the shoulder). In children and adolescents, this is often related to overuse from sports, growth-related anatomical changes, or instability. Pediatric orthopedic specialists manage this condition with a primary focus on conservative, non-surgical treatments tailored to the growing body. This includes specialized physical therapy, activity modification, and anti-inflammatory measures. When surgery is necessary, it is typically a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure to create more space in the subacromial area, relieving pressure and allowing for pain-free movement and healthy shoulder development.

Key Highlights

Specialized care focused on the unique anatomy and growth plates of children and adolescents.Emphasis on non-surgical, conservative management as the first line of treatment.Minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques when surgery is required, leading to smaller scars and less tissue disruption.Aims to restore full, pain-free range of motion crucial for sports, play, and daily activities.Holistic approach that includes guidance on activity modification and injury prevention for long-term shoulder health.

Who is this surgery for?

Persistent shoulder pain, especially with overhead activities, that does not improve with 3-6 months of conservative therapy.
Significant weakness or loss of function in the shoulder impacting sports participation or daily life.
Diagnostic imaging (MRI) confirming structural impingement with tendon inflammation or partial tearing.
Associated conditions like a hooked acromion bone shape or ligamentous laxity contributing to instability and impingement.
Failure of rest, physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, and other non-operative measures to provide adequate relief.

How to prepare

Comprehensive evaluation including a detailed medical history, physical exam, and imaging (X-ray, MRI).
Completion of a prescribed course of pediatric-focused physical therapy to strengthen supporting muscles.
Pre-operative blood tests and a general health check-up to ensure fitness for anesthesia.
Discussion with the surgical team about the procedure, anesthesia (typically general), and the recovery timeline.
Arranging for post-operative support at home, including time off from school and sports.

Risks & possible complications

General surgical risks: reaction to anesthesia, infection, or bleeding.
Stiffness or persistent pain in the shoulder joint post-operatively.
Injury to surrounding nerves or blood vessels, though rare with arthroscopy.
Potential for recurrence of symptoms if underlying causes like improper biomechanics are not addressed.
Risks associated with growth plates in very young patients, though procedures are carefully planned to avoid them.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial period of rest with the arm in a sling for 1-2 weeks to protect the repair.
Early focus on gentle pendulum exercises and elbow/wrist motion to prevent stiffness.
Structured, progressive physical therapy program starting 2-4 weeks post-op to restore strength and range of motion.
Gradual return to normal activities over 3-4 months; full return to contact sports may take 4-6 months.
Regular follow-up appointments with the pediatric orthopedist to monitor healing and progress.

Typical hospital stay: 1 day (typically outpatient or 24-hour observation)
Expected recovery time: 3-6 months for full return to sports

PATIENT REVIEW

Michael Patel, a 14-year-old competitive club...

Michael Patel, a 14-year-old competitive club swimmer, had been training intensively for the regional championships. Over the past three months, he developed a sharp, pinching pain in his right shoulder during the overhead pull phase of his freestyle stroke. The pain started to wake him up at night and was affecting his times. His pediatrician referred him to a pediatric orthopedic specialist. After a physical exam and an MRI, Dr. Lee diagnosed him with shoulder impingement syndrome, likely from overuse and subtle instability. He recommended a course of structured physical therapy focused on rotator cuff strengthening, scapular stabilization, and modifying his training load. Michael was frustrated and scared he'd lose his spot on the relay team. The PT was challenging and required patience, but he diligently followed the exercises. After 8 weeks, his pain was gone, and he was able to return to swimming with a corrected stroke technique. Emotionally, he moved from anxiety and frustration to feeling empowered, having learned how to care for his body to prevent future injury.
