An Os acromiale is a condition that results from the failure of fusion of the anterior acromial
apophysis. It can be asymptomatic. It can also result in subacromial impingement and rotator cuff
tear. In this case report of a 39 year-old lady we would like to present the management of the painful
bursitis and spur formation on the superior surface of a meso-type of os acromiale. Conservative
management in the form of rest, anti-inflammatory drugs and physiotherapy did not provide
symptomatic relief. Patient then underwent surgical excision of the superior spur. Open reduction and
internal fixation was not carried out. Patient had resolution of pain and no recurrence of symptoms or
features of impingement at 6 months follow up. To the best of our knowledge there are limited reports
in English literature about this rare subset of patients with symptomatic os acromiale with superior
spur formation and with no features of impingement or cuff pathology.
