Subacromial Decompression

Posted on May 13, 2014 by Badia Hand to Shoulder Center

The operation aims to increase the size of the subacromial area and reduce the pressure on the muscle. It involves cutting the ligament and shaving away the bone spur on the acromion bone. This allows the muscle to heal.

A nerve block is used during the operation which means that immediately after the operation the shoulder and arm may feel numb. This may last a few hours. After this the shoulder may well be sore and you will be given painkillers to help this whilst in hospital. These can be continued after you are discharged home. Ice packs may also help reduce pain. Wrap frozen peas or crushed ice in a damp, cold cloth and place on the shoulder for up to 15 minutes. In order to maintain a dry wound cover the dressing / wound with some cling film before applying the ice pack.

I injured my shoulder right as we entered into a lockdown due to a pandemic. It was next to impossible to get anyone to... see me and assess my injury. Dr. Badia and his team, following carefully laid out safety protocols, were able to bring me in, have x-rays, MRI and thorough review of the findings all in ONE visit!!! I was given an interim treatment plan to bridge the gap as surgeries were restricted due to COVID-19. As soon as surgeries resumed, I was scheduled for my procedure. To say that both Dr. Badia and his team are amazing is an understatement. They helped me handle a difficult insurance approval process to ensure I had the best surgeon treating me and my procedure at The Surgery Center at Doral and communication with my PCP and Cardiologist was excellent. Everyone made me feel very safe and confident that I was in the best possible setting where I wouldn’t be exposed to needless risk in a traditional hospital. The results of my surgery so far have been amazing. I’ve had next to no pain post-op and my recovery is coming along at lightning speed thanks Dr. B’s amazing talent and the dream team he has at OrthoNow where I have been undergoing physical therapy. I couldn’t say enough good things about him and the team. His expertise and dedication to providing the best possible care using cutting edge technology make for patient centered care and well being vs. insurance driven red tape so often seen today. Highly recommend Dr. Badia!read more

I went to Dr. Badia with a bad infection in my nail. He is so good at what he does and took care of me with such... concern. Gigi is the sweetest, cutest thing ever, who also made sure that I was comfortable and helped so I would not be nervous. The whole staff makes you feel like family. Thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart and I would recommend Dr. Badia's expertise and his office to anyone. So, if you have an injury or a problem, please go see him.read more

Dr Badia is the best orthopedic surgeon in Miami hands down. I need surgery because of a multiple fracture in my left... forearm. Went to other doctors (UM, mount Sinai) and they didn’t promise me I would recover 100% of my injuries and told me I would not be able to do sports again. Dr Badia did tell me I would heal 100% and it’s true. I did a much simpler surgery and fixed me in no time. Would recommend to anyone. Two thumbs upread more

From the first call I made to Dr. Badia‘s office I was impressed by the professionalism of the person who answered... the phone. When I arrived at the office for my appointment I was once again greeted in a professional manner. This professionalism radiated through all of the team. I hadn’t seen Dr. Badia for over 10 years and he greeted me as if we’ve been in contact with each other for years.read more

From my first visit the staff as well as the Dr. Badia have been exceptionally professional and caring. I had an injury... to my pinky finger, the required a placement of a rod in order to align. The surgery went well and was scheduled right away. The office staff has been amazing with scheduling and confirming appointments. Overall I am very happy with the care i received as well as the results. My finger healed and my range of motion has also gotten much better. Thank you Dr. Badiaread more
