Abstract

This is a case report of an arthroscopically diagnosed injury to the coracoacromial ligament at the undersurface of the acromion. To our knowledge, this has not been previously described. Traumatic avulsion of this ligament may represent a source of subacromial impingement that has not been recognized.
