Showing Subacromial Decompression

Traveling From UK

Subacromial impingement syndrome is a condition where one of the rotator muscles running over the shoulder joint is trapped between the shoulder blade and the shoulder joint. The subacromial decompression operation aims to increase the size of the subacromial area and reduce the pressure on the muscle. Surgery is normally performed as a keyhole procedure (arthroscopic) but occasionally an open procedure is preferred.
