Abstract

Arthroscopic subacromial decompression (ASD) is a method of performing an acromioplasty as described by C. S. Neer [18] utilizing arthroscopic techniques [2, 8, 9, 11, 21]. In comparison to the open procedure, a major advantage of this method is that the deltoid muscle need not be detached. Consequently, better cosmetic results and a shorter rehabilitation time are achieved [2, 8, 12, 21].
