A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Gregory Harvey answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Rotator cuff: I assume you acromioplasty. Sometimes this is combined with rotator cuff surgery. This surgery involves removing a bone spur from the undersurface of the acromion ( part of the scapula) which may be pressure on the rotator cuff (impingement)

Is it ok to have 2 surgeries close together? I am having CMC arthroplasty on Mar 10 and I need a hip tendon release. My choices for dates for that are 2/19 or 4/16. Does it matter or should I choose the April appointment as it's a bit longer between?
