title: [Acromion reconstruction after arthroscopic subacromial decompression and iatrogenic acromial destruction].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Reconstruction of the acromion, to achieve pain relief and better function of the deltoid muscle.
  
  
  METHODS
  After partial or complete removal of the acromion.
  
  
  METHODS
  General surgical contraindications. Paresis of the axillary nerve.
  
  
  METHODS
  Strategy of the operation with X-ray and CT scan. Patient in beach chair position. Disinfection of the shoulder and lateral pelvic region. Exploration of the defect area and searching for the lateral clavicula and spinascapulae end. Removal of a pelvic bone block. Fixation of the pelvic bone block to the spina scapulae with K-wires and finally osteosynthesis by a Reco plate (Synthes, Umkirch, Germany), wound closure.
  
  
  METHODS
  For the first 6 weeks, a cast with the arm in 90° abduction. Passive motion without the cast should be performed once a day. Starting in week 7, weekly reduction of abduction (90°/60°/30°/0°). Active mobilization starting in week 10. Start to practice with weight bearing in week 13.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Pain relief improved from VAS 7-9 to VAS 2-3. Improved ROM can be seen postoperatively and after 6 months for abduction/adduction 50-0-50°, anteversion/retroversion 80-0-10°, rotation out/in 40-0-10°.
