Hooked Shoulder Process

What is Hooked Acromion?

A hooked acromion is an anatomical variation where the roof bone of the shoulder curves downward like a hook, progressively pinching and fraying the rotator cuff tendons during arm elevation.

Arthroscopic acromioplasty gently reshapes this bone, widening the passage to restore smooth, painless shoulder motion.

FAQs About Hooked Shoulder Surgery

Can a hooked acromion cause tendon tears?

Yes, repetitive friction acts like a saw against the tendon, leading to wear and eventual tearing if left untreated.

How long is the surgery?

The entire arthroscopic procedure typically takes only 30 to 45 minutes as an outpatient procedure.

When will the pinching pain disappear?

Patients notice substantial relief from the sharp, catching pain as soon as keyhole incisions heal.
