Aging Health, 10/07/09
Hermoso FE et al. – Prevalence of shoulder disorders in the elderly community is 21% and this represents important implications in the provision of community health services. Shoulder disorders are more common in women (25%) than in men (17%). Although many of these patients do not seek medical advice, shoulder pain is a frequent cause of disability, poor subjective perception of health and depression. Soft tissue lesions are the most common cause of shoulder pain in the elderly, including rotator cuff tendinitis or rupture, subacromial impingement, frozen shoulder and acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis. These conditions are amenable to treatment that in turn will improve patient quality of life. Minimally invasive techniques, especially shoulder arthroscopy, have demonstrated to be extremely useful for this purpose. Glenohumeral osteoarthritis, rheumatoid disease and Milwaukee shoulder are also frequent origins of shoulder ache.
