Subacromial decompression with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair yielded a 21% risk reduction for revision compared with repair alone. Results were compiled from a study population of 60,000 patients.

After debriding any loose bodies and shaving back part of the acromion bone (subacromial decompression) to reduce the likelihood of impingement, the rotator cuff is reattached to the head of the ...

Use of a biodegradable subacromial implant spacer for massive rotator cuff tears had non-inferior outcomes to partial repair, according to results presented at the American Shoulder and Elbow ...

The InSpace subacromial spacer balloon is as good as partial repair of the rotator cuff, according to the results of a prospective, randomized, multicenter trial presented at the American Academy ...

“This study aimed to re-evaluate the patients from the original trial and determine the long-term efficacy of performing a subacromial decompression in cases of full-thickness rotator cuff tears ...

Use of a biodegradable balloon spacer during massive rotator cuff tear surgery produced similar outcomes when compared to partial rotator cuff repair for patients with massive rotator cuff tears ...

"Surgical repair or reconstruction of the damaged rotator cuff tendon is typically accompanied by decompression of the subacromial space by debriding the overlying bone (acromion) and removing the ...
