Acromioplasty in the Shoulder - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
The illustration depicts an acromioplasty procedure performed on the shoulder joint. The focus is on the subacromial space, where a surgical instrument is shown reshaping the acromion to remove impinging bone and reduce compression of the underlying rotator cuff tendons, particularly the supraspinatus tendon. The humeral head and glenoid cavity are visible, along with the long head of the biceps brachii tendon. The surrounding anatomy includes the deltoid muscle, scapula, and ribs. Sutures and anchors may be included to stabilize structures if concurrent rotator cuff repair is performed. The image highlights the interaction between bony and soft tissue components during the procedure.
