Acromion
The lateral bony projection of the scapula that forms the highest point of the shoulder and articulates with the clavicle.
When Acromion is documented, it affects bone, joint, tendon, ligament or movement mechanics.
For Acromion, physical examination is often combined with radiography, ultrasound, CT or MRI when structural injury is suspected.
The care plan is driven by cause and severity; management may involve activity modification, analgesia, physiotherapy, immobilization, injection or surgery.
Accurate interpretation prevents a glossary label from being mistaken for a diagnosis and helps place the finding in the correct clinical setting.
A healthcare professional can explain how acromion applies to an individual patient and whether additional investigation or treatment is appropriate.
