Shoulder Cuff Avulsion Repair in Kansas

Shoulder repair with decompression, also called acromioplasty, is a surgical treatment for shoulder cuff avulsions and shoulder impingement syndrome. An avulsion fracture occurs when a small piece of bone attached to a tendon or ligament is pulled away from the rest of the bone, usually during strenuous athletic activity. During this procedure, the surgeon re-affixes the separated bone and removes bone tissue to relieve pressure and give the tendons and muscles improved range of motion.
