Shoulder acromioplasty, also known as acromioplasty or subacromial decompression, is a surgical procedure commonly performed to address shoulder impingement syndrome and related conditions. This procedure aims to relieve pain, restore function, and improve the range of motion in the shoulder joint.

Shoulder injuries are a common occurrence, and one of the most prevalent among them is a shoulder labrum tear. The shoulder labrum is a piece of soft tissue that helps stabilize the shoulder joint, and when it tears, it can cause pain, instability, and limited range of motion.
