The case of a twenty-three-year-old male with a symptomatic pseudarthrosis of the acromion is presented. Open reduction and internal fixation with a plate, screw, and tension band construct supplemented with a bone graft was performed and early range of motion was initiated. Nine months after surgery, the fracture was healed and the patient had excellent function of the shoulder. The literature on pseudarthrosis of the acromion is reviewed.
