Acromioplasty is a surgical procedure designed to relieve shoulder impingement by reshaping the acromion. It alleviates pain, restores mobility, and prevents further joint damage.
The acromion is part of the shoulder blade that forms the top of the shoulder joint. Impingement occurs when this bone presses against the rotator cuff, causing pain and inflammation.
Common symptoms include pain during overhead activities, weakness, and restricted shoulder movement. Causes range from repetitive strain to anatomical variations in the acromion.
Acromioplasty is performed arthroscopically, ensuring minimal scarring and faster recovery. Post-surgery, physical therapy plays a crucial role in restoring strength and mobility.
The procedure is typically well-tolerated with appropriate pain management.
Most patients resume sports within 3–6 months after surgery.
