Summary/Abstract: Introduction: Subacromial impingement syndrome represents a wide spectrum of pathologies ranging from subacromial bursitis to rotator cuff tendinopathy and full thickness rotator cuff tears. Etiology of this diagnosis is multifactorial, it is referred to both extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Management of this condition consists of conservative therapy, physical therapy and when unsuccessful in surgical treatment. Objective: Subjective patients’ evaluation on the basis of Oxford Shoulder Score before surgery, 3 and 6 months after surgical intervention. Material and methods: Our research group involved 60 patients who underwent surgery for subacromial impingement syndrome from March 1., 2016 until March 1., 2019, filled out Oxford Shoulder Score questionnaire before surgery, 3 months and 6 months after surgery. Results: In total 53 patients (88,3%) after 6 months after surgical intervention mentioned no or mild difficulties, with middle difficulties suffered 7 patients (11,7%). In patients with continuing difficulties was done a cervical spine X-ray with degenerative changes findings. We did not experience any post-surgical complications, nor surface or deep infection, osteonecrosis, fracture, neurovascular damages, or deep vein thrombosis were noted. Conclusion: Our findings showed arthroscopic surgery on the bases of patients’ subjective evaluations proved positive in shoulder burden elimination in a relative short amount of time and stays as a method of choice at our workplace.
