The impingement syndrome
THE ATTACHMENT SYNDROME
This syndrome has several synonyms such as: encroachment, conflict sous-acromial, tendinitis of the rotator cuff, butting as well as impingement.
To fully understand the impingement syndrome, it must be remembered that the shoulder is a joint that has several structures contained in a limited space.
The shoulder is a very mobile joint whose bony structures fit together poorly since the humeral head is too large for the glenoid cavity of the scapula (scapula).
