In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of SLAP lesions in patients with chronic impingement syndrome. We also examined the sensitivity of O'Brien's test.The study included 48 patients with a preliminary chronic impingement syndrome diagnosis to whom arthroscopic decompression had been planned. All patients underwent preoperative Neer's, Hawkins' and O'Brien's tests. We performed shoulder arthroscopy on all patients and evaluated chronic impingement syndrome and SLAP lesions. Then, we compared the statistical sensitivities of these tests.The mean age of patients with chronic impingement was 45.8 years (range, 35-69 years). O'brien's test was positive in 34 (70.8%) of the patients, and Neer's test and Hawkins' test were positive in 46 (95.8%) of the patients before shoulder arthroscopy. Shoulder arthroscopy revealed that 44 (91.7%) of 48 patients had subacromial impingement; 32 (66.7%) had SLAP lesions and internal impingement. In chronic impingement syndrome, sensitivity rates were 95.6% for Neer's test and Hawkins' test, whereas in internal impingement syndrome and slap lesions, the sensitivity of O'brien's test was 94.1%. There was no statistical difference between the tests (p0.05).72.72% of the patients with chronic impingement syndrome had concomitant SLAP lesions. We suggest that O'Brien's test should be used with Neer's and Hawkins' tests for diagnosis of this condition.Çalışmamızda kronik impingement sendromlu hastalar da SLAP lezyonu görülme sıklığını ve O’Brien testinin duyarlılığını araştırmayı amaçladık.Artoskopik subakromiyal dekompresyon plan-lanan, kronik impingement sendromu ön tanısı olan 48 hastayı çalışmamıza aldık. Hastaları omuz artroskopisi öncesi Neer, Hawkins ve O’Brien testleri ile değerlendirdik. Daha sonra omuz artroskopisi yaparak, hastaları kronik impingement sendromu, internal impingement sendromu ve SLAP lezyonları açısından değerlendirdik. Bu testlerin duyarlılıklarını istatiksel olarak karşılaştırdık.Yaş ortalaması 45.8 yıl (dağılım 35–69 yıl) olan, omuz artroskopisi öncesi 46 (%95.8) hastada Neer ve Hawkins testleri, 34 (%70.8) hastada O’Brien testi pozitifti. Omuz artroskopisinde 48 hastanın 44’ünde (%91.7) subakromiyal impingement, 32’sinde (%66.7) SLAP lezyonu ve internal impingement görüldü. Kronik impingement sendromunda; Neer ve Hawkins testleri %95.6 oranında duyarlı iken, İnternal impingement sendromu ve slap lezyonlarında O’Brien testi %94.1 oranında duyarlı idi ve testler arasında istatiksel olarak fark görülmedi (p0.05).Kronik impingement sendromlu hastalarda %72.72 oranında SLAP ve internal impingement lezyonu görülmekte, tanıda Neer ve Hawkins testleri ile beraber O’Brien testinin de yapılmasının gerektiğini düşünmekteyiz.
