Acromioplasty - Shoulder Impingement Syndrome Surgery - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This image illustrates the initial surgical step in an open shoulder procedure involving acromion resection. On the left, a skin incision is shown being made over the lateral aspect of the shoulder to expose the underlying musculoskeletal structures, including the deltoid muscle, clavicle, and scapular components. The incision site is retracted to allow direct access to the shoulder joint. On the right, a close-up view depicts the surgical removal of the anterior portion of the acromion process using a surgical instrument. The acromion is shown being excised to provide improved access to the rotator cuff and subacromial space, with adjacent muscular and osseous anatomy—such as the clavicle, scapula, and humeral head—clearly visualized.
