The finding was present bilaterally in a male patient examined because of pain and limitation of motion of both shoulders. Periarthritis or peritendinitis calcarea was suspected. Fifty cases have been seen in our offices and affiliated hospital departments since that time. A search of the world's medical reports revealed no such gross description. Gray (4) in 1942 described subacromial facets in 22.12 per cent of his material, including 1,085 scapulae. The possibility that we were demonstrating his so-called elevated facets was considered, but on review of some of our radiographs he felt that they did not represent this entity but, more probably, calcification or ossification of a ligament or tendon due to stress. Weissenbach (6) described the radiologic appearance of a subacromial osteophyte in one case, but no surgical or anatomical follow-up was obtained... |
