Safe and effective subacromial decompression surgery
Subacromial decompression is a surgical procedure used to treat shoulder impingement syndrome. The procedure involves removing any bone spurs or inflamed tissue that may be compressing the tendons and causing pain and limited mobility in the shoulder. The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, and the surgeon will make a small incision in the shoulder to access the subacromial space. Once inside, the surgeon will use specialized tools to remove any impinging tissue or bone. The procedure typically takes about an hour, and patients can expect to go home the same day. Recovery time can vary, but most patients can resume normal activities within a few weeks. Physical therapy may also be recommended to help restore strength and mobility to the shoulder. Subacromial decompression is a safe and effective procedure that can provide long-term relief for those suffering from shoulder impingement syndrome.
