"'Accrochage négatif" means in the easiest way possible that there's no danger for the shoulder, it's all right. For sure, there's no popping or snapping and u're actually well Rosa.💞

My comment:

Don't worry, that means that it doesn't suffer from popping or snapping, ur shoulder is well.
I hope u feel better now💞

diagnosis of frozen shoulder/impingment syndrome ruled out

My comment:

I think this is how I would translate it, given that it has been determined through a physical test or examination.

On a French website I found, there is a photo of a woman with an obvious dropped shoulder and the caption reads "accrochage".Rosa's query mentions "rotator cuff tear" and shoulder drop is a possible sequel. In my discharge letter for Rosa, I would have rendered "accrochage négatif" as "no shoulder drop" This is standard UK medspeak.

Hi Charles. What I found is that a frozen shoulder comes about "often" as a result of a rotator cup injury: https://www.uptodate.com/contents/frozen-shoulder-beyond-the-basics. Also, that it is considered to be the most serious of all the sequelae that can come about as the result of a rotator cup injury: https://www.medicinenet.com/rotator_cuff/article.htm. Aren't they talking about the ability of the patient, in this case, to move her/his arm after the injury? I had a frozen shoulder for 10 years, and could do almost nothing with it.

Sorry, Barbara, no impingement, I agree, (and no offence), BUT...the right translation here is for shoulder drop. Accrocher can mean "to hang" as for a picture on a wall. Rosa is talking about a dislocation of the gleno-humeral joint.

Well, if you have contacted Rosa and she told you that the medical report specifically refers to a dislocation of the gleno-humeral joint, maybe she should go with your suggestion. But I also found the following link and it refers to an arm drop test, not the actual condition of shoulder droop, and the context of the question refers to an actual test: https://www.uofazcenteronaging.com/care-sheet/providers/shoulders-four-common-shoulder-problems-older-adults. But that source is an American one, not British. So the correct translation might depend on which variant of English Rosa needs. Anyway, I gotta run to get around and run to my own doctor's appointment in a few. See you later!

My comment:

This patient probably has a rotator cuff tear but does not have shoulder drop. Accrocher can mean to hang.

The "popping, snapping and clicking" is the symptom, but the cause is the impingement syndrom.
