Book Appointment for Acromioplasty Surgery
An Acromioplasty is a surgical procedure that involves shaving the acromion (a part of the shoulder bone) to relieve and treat shoulder pain. An acromion is a triangular-shaped bone found in both shoulders. It extends towards the shoulder joint and forms an acromioclavicular joint and the collarbone. It is also commonly known as a subacromial decompression.
Due to the repetitive motion of the shoulders, the surface of the acromion bone, along with nearby tendons, gets damaged. Therefore, the surgeon creates more space under the acromion during the surgery by removing some parts of the bone and nearby affected tendons. It helps in easy movement of the acromion bone and helps in relieving the symptoms.
