Does impingement need surgery?
Surgery is only necessary when there is a significantly large rotator cuff tear caused by an acute traumatic event. If impingement results without a tear, surgery may not be needed. A “Scapular Tilt Test,” which I have performed for nearly 15 years, is one way to determine if surgery is needed.
