ARTHROSCOPIC SUBACROMIAL DECOMPRESSION

Arthroscopic subacromial decompression is a minimally invasive technique whereby impinging bone from the overlying acromion is removed, as well as diseased bursal tissue. This effectively decompresses the space, allowing the rotator cuff tendons to function more effectively without continued impingement.
