Scores fonctionnels de l'épaule asymptomatique dans une population de 180 patients âgés de plus de 75 ans

Shoulder function is compatible with normal lifestyle in subjects over 75, corresponding to their desires and expectations. Shoulder function is correlated with body mass index and mental status. We should carefully assess shoulders in elderly subjects because good shoulder function, even if impaired, is often compatible with moderate stiffness, mild osteoarthritis, and rotator cuff tears, with no particular need for surgery.
