Shoulder impingement surgery is to regain a full, pain-free movement of the shoulders. Shoulder impingement occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff and subacromial bursa become compressed against the acromion (a bone that sticks out from the scapula). Slowly as time passes, the tissues become inflamed and irritated. It results in shoulder pain which worsens at night. It may also cause shoulder and arm weakness and restricts normal arm movement.
Shoulder impingement syndrome is a condition that makes overhead arm movements difficult and painful. It can be caused as a result of acromioclavicular joint arthritis, thickening or clarification of the coracoacromial ligament, structural abnormalities, weakness of the rotator cuff muscles, or repetitive hand movements.

As a result, it helps relieve the pain and pressure and restore function.
