Arthroscopic Shoulder Decompression in Islamabad
Shoulder impingement is a condition in the shoulder when a tendon swells and does not fit comfortably between your bones. It causes irritation and unease in movements while rubbing against tissues and bones. This can happen due to an injury or a tear in the shoulders.
Subacromial decompression is a process that helps resolve the shoulder impingement issue, which has failed to get better by conservative measures. It is designed to make more space under your acromion by releasing the tight ligament and by shaving off the surplus tissue of the shoulder blade. The procedure is done through arthroscopy, reducing the stiffness in shoulder muscles and allowing room for the rotator cuff tendon to move freely underneath.
What Factors Contribute to Shoulder Impingement Syndrome?
- Repetitive Overheard Use: Activities that involve repetitive arm/shoulder movements
- Rotator cuff tears: Injuries or damage to rotator cuff tendons
- Bone spurs: Caused by arthritis or other degenerative issues, may lead to a narrow space within the shoulder.
- Tendinitis: Inflammation in the connective tissues of your shoulders.
- Poor Posture: Bad posture can increase the risk of impingement.
- Injury: A sudden traumatic injury like a fall or an accident can be the reason for this issue.
- Weakness due to age: Naturally weakening muscles due to age.
- Lack of workouts: Lack of exercise or underuse of arms can also lead to vulnerabilities.
Goals of Subacromial Decompression Surgery
You can go for subacromial decompression because it provides relief in multiple ways, like;

It gives gradual relief, letting you resume your daily activities and returning to your work within 2 weeks.
