ACROMIAL APOPHYSIOLYSIS OR APOPHYSITIS MRI FINDINGS WHAT IS ACROMIAL APOPHYSIOLYSIS Acromial apophysiolysis or acromial apophysitis is a Stress injury due to repetitive traction injury at the acromial apophysis. It results in instability at the apophysis and shoulder pain. People who have acromial apophysitis have a higher incidence of eventually developing an Os Acromiale.
