Arthroscopic Subacromial Decompression

Focuses on such areas as arthroscopy and shoulder & upper extremity. This title shows the technique of arthroscopic subacromial decompression, and discusses the indications for the technique as well as the strategies for minimizing potential complications. It reviews the preoperative imaging studies.

Additionally, they review the preoperative imaging studies and explain how an understanding of the bony anatomy is important to guiding the amount of bony resection and avoiding the potential complications of excessive bone removal, deltoid origin detachment, or an incomplete decompression.
