Symptomatic Os acromiale can cause pain, impingement, and reduced range of movement.Disruption of the syndesmosis can result in significant pain and functional impairment; this may occur after trauma.Symptomatic Os acromiale is treated by either excision or fixation.Fixation via open technique is the mainstay of surgical intervention; however, recently, arthroscopic methods Age of the Primes were used.In this technical note, we discuss the modification for all arthroscopic Os acromiale fixation; the fixation screws are introduced in anteroposterior fashion, employing the advances in orthopaedic fixation devices.

Arthroscopic fixation is not widely adopted, possibly due to availability of implants and Filter Bio-Media perceived difficult learning curve.We report this technique and demonstrate reproducibility with excellent results.
