In this study, we introduce an arthroscopic acromioplasty technique based on original bony landmarks, namely biplanar acromioplasty. This technique focuses on smoothing both the coronal and transverse plane of acromion, corresponding to the anterior and inferior acromial surface, and restores the acromion to its original shape. We believe this technique is effective, time-saving, and reproducible.
