Introduction: There is no consensus on how to perform acromioplasty, particularly regarding the level and extent of bone resection, which depend on scapular and humeral morphologies.
Hypothesis: We aimed to determine whether computer-assisted acromioplasty planning helps surgeons remove impinging bone, reduce unnecessary resections, and improve short-term outcomes of rotator cuff tears (RCR).
Patients And Methods: We randomized 64 patients undergoing RCR of full-thickness supraspinatus tears into two groups: 'guided acromioplasty' (GA) and 'freehand acromioplasty' (FA).

Article Synopsis
- "ArthroPlanner" is a computer-assisted planning tool for acromioplasty that uses 3D models and kinematic simulations to enhance surgical precision.
- The software allows for real-time assessments of shoulder joint movement, helping surgeons choose the right bone resection amount based on identified issues like subacromial impingement.
- A clinical study involving 27 patients using ArthroPlanner and 31 without found no significant differences in surgical outcomes, although both groups experienced pain relief and improved shoulder function post-surgery.
