✦ Synopsis


Arthroscopy under anaesthesia was used to investigate 123patients with painful shoulders. The clinical diagnosis was compared with the arthroscopic findings. Four types of rotator cuff lesions were found in which there were significant differences between sex and age. Instability detected under anaesthesia was an important cause of pain. These examinations proved valuable in the diagnosis of shoulder pain, particularly when the clinical diagnosis was uncertain.

R+sum~. 123patients souffrant de douleurs de l'bpaule ont btb examinbs par arthroscopie et en testant la stabilitd de l'@aule sous anesthbsie. Le diagnostic clinique ainsi que l'6ge, le sexe des patients et l'btiologie ont btb comparbs aux constatations arthroscopiques et les changements morphologiques notks lors de l'arthroscopie ont btb enregistrbs. Les modifications pathologiques de la coiffe des rotateurs ont btb divisbes en quatre classes qui montraient des diffbrences significatives selon le sexe et les diffbrents groupes d'~ge.
