Abstract
in English, French

Fifty patients with impingement syndrome refractory to long-term conservative treatment were randomized to three treatment groups. All patients received an injection of 10 ml 0.5% bupivacaine, in group 1 without corticosteroid, in group 2 with crystalline corticosteroid and in group 3 with lipoid corticosteroid. Treatment in group 1 had to be stopped because of inefficacy. In groups 2 and 3 favorable results were achieved in 19 out of 40 patients.

50 patients avec conflit sous-aeromial, qui ne montraient pas d’amélioration après un long trâitement conservatif récevaient une injection dans la bourse subacromiale. Le premier groupe récevait une injection contenant un anaesthétique local pur, groupe 2 une mixture d’anaesthétique avec des corticostéroides cristalins et groupe 3 avec des corticostéroides lipoides. Le trâitement du groupe 1 devait être arrété cause d’inificacité. 19 de 40 patients du groupe 2 et 3 montraient une amélioration après 6 mois.
