Jackson: What are your current indications for the commonly performed acromioplasty? What can the patient expect in terms of outcomes when it is performed?
Warme: We do not change the morphology of the CA arch or acromion in any way when performing cuff repairs. At this point, we only modify the undersurface of the acromion if it is misshapen from trauma, such as in cases of a malunion, or it there is an abnormal growth on it such as an osteochondroma. These cases are exceedingly rare.
