Vanlig axeloperation ger ingen nytta för patienten12.12.2025 10:28:37 EET | Pressmeddelande
Den finländska studien FIMPACT (Finnish Subacromial Impingement Arthroscopy Controlled Trial) har i en tioårsuppföljning visat att operationen inte ger någon fördel jämfört med andra behandlingsformer. Den axeldekompressionsoperation som länge använts vid behandling av axelsmärta minskar enligt studien inte smärtan och förbättrar inte heller funktionsförmågan eller livskvaliteten jämfört med placebokirurgi eller intensifierad fysioterapi.
Yleinen olkapään leikkaus ei tuo hyötyä potilaalle12.12.2025 10:28:37 EET | Tiedote
Suomalainen FIMPACT-tutkimus (Finnish Subacromial Impingement Arthroscopy Controlled Trial) on osoittanut kymmenen vuoden seurannassa, ettei leikkauksesta ole hyötyä verrattuna muihin hoitomuotoihin. Pitkään olkakivun hoidossa käytetty avarrusleikkaus ei tutkimusten mukaan paranna kipua, toimintakykyä tai elämänlaatua verrattuna lumeleikkaukseen tai tehostettuun fysioterapiaan.

The Finnish FIMPACT trial (Finnish Subacromial Impingement Arthroscopy Controlled Trial) has in a follow-up of ten years shown that surgery does not offer any benefit compared to other forms of treatment. According to studies, decompression surgery (arthroscopic subacromial decompression, ASD), which has long been used in the treatment of shoulder pain, does not reduce the pain or improve functional capacity or the quality of life when compared to placebo surgery or intensified physiotherapy.
