Shoulder Impingement Surgery

Shoulder Healthy Shoulder Joint

This minimally invasive procedure is often performed on an outpatient basis. Shoulder impingement helps relieve pain by decompressing the small enclosed area around the rotator tendon of the shoulder joint. During the procedure, the bursa is removed and the orthopaedic surgeon trims the acromion bone to allow for normal pain-free motion. In most cases, this procedure is performed arthroscopically.
