title: Editorial Commentary: Is Lateral Acromioplasty Effective and Safe?
abstract: Reduction of critical shoulder angle to less than 35° is potentially useful to prevent progression of rotator cuff tear or to protect cuff repair from re-tear. Lateral acromioplasty is an effective procedure to reduce the critical shoulder angle without violating the acromial deltoid origin.
