• Resumen

  • Impingement syndrome is one of the most common pain disorders of the shoulder. The causes are numerous and most frequently it is due to structural alterations of coracoacromial arch; however, in in rare cases it may be caused by malunion of distal clavicle fractures. We report our experience in the case of a young tennis player with shoulder impingement after a conservative management of distal clavicle fracture.
