The Straight Facts on Shoulder Impingement Surgery

Shoulder Impingement Surgery used to be recommended to fix and/or prevent issues with shoulder mobility. For decades, surgeons specializing in subacromial decompression claimed they could prevent rotator cuff tears by reshaping the acromion. They created acromion types to classify as "pathological". Over time, however, the entire theory of shoulder impingement has turned out to be little more than wishful thinking.
