What is rotator cuff repair vs. acromnioplasty?

Two different things: Repair of the torn rotaotr cuff , to use sutures to close the gap in the torn cuff which could be done in three main ways. Generally, it implies removal of a small piece of the surface of the bone (acromion) that is in contact with a tendon causing, by friction, damage to the latter tissue.
