This article indeed shows that there has been a rising incidence of coding for acromioplasties over the last decade. However, a combination of factors, including advances in shoulder surgery and anesthesia, changes in International Classification of Diseases, Revision 9 (ICD-9) and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes, and requirements by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) and insurers have all played an influential role.
