Arthroscopic Picture of an
Impingement of the Rotator Cuff
on the Acromion
The undersurface of the acromion
in impingement appears roughened
|
 |
| The rotator cuff also
appears roughened in impingement
|
 |
| With the arthroscope to
visualise the subacromial bursa,
a “subacromial decompression” is
performed |
 |
| The VAPR System's Bipolar
Design. |
 |
| The software-driven
generator creates RF energy
waveforms that perform
simultaneously remove soft
tissue and control bleeding |
 |
| The spurs and any prominence
of the acromion is removed with
a burr- this is called an
acromioplasty |
