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.Keywords
