Abstract: Objective To analyze the effects of enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS) measures in the elderly patients with subacromial impingement syndrome(SAIS) undergoing arthroscopic acromioplasty. Methods The clinical data of 38 elderly patients with SAIS receiving arthroscopic acromioplasty in our hospital from July 2017 to November 2021 was retrospectively collected. All the patients were divided into the traditional group(18 cases) and the ERAS group(20 cases) according to different perioperative management. The scores of the modified UCLA Shoulder Rating Scale(UCLA scale) and visual analogue scale (VAS) before operation, at discharge, 1,2,3 months after discharge and the postoperative hospital stay, and the incidence of complications were observed and compared between the two groups. Results The scores of UCLA scale and VAS were significantly improved in both groups after operation. The UCLA score in the ERAS group at discharge and 1 month after discharge was significantly higher than that in the traditional group, and the VAS score in the ERAS group was lower than that in the traditional group 1 month after discharge (P<0.05 or P<0.01). There was significant difference in hospital stay between the two groups (P<0.05),while the incidence rate of complications showed no statistical difference. Conclusion ERAS management may relieve the pain, accelerate shoulder rehabilitation and shorten the postoperative hospital stay time in the elderly patients with SAIS undergoing arthroscopic acromioplasty.
