Shoulder Arthroscopy Guide
Lennard Funk, 2008
When performing shoulder arthroscopy it is essential to have a sytem for diagnostic examination of all the relevant structures of the shoulder joint.
There are many good systems around. I use a simple 10 point system, with ten key areas of the shoulder that need to be viewed and probed during a diagnostic arthroscopy.
From the posterior portal, these areas are, in order:
- Superior Labrum & LHB
- Glenoid, Humeral Head and Posterior Labrum
- Inferior Recess
- Bare area and posterior cuff
- Superior cuff
- LHB entering groove, biceps pulley and SGHL
- Subscapularis, Antero-superior labrum & MGHL
- Antero-inferior labrum, IGHL and anterior capsule
- Acromial surface of bursa and CA ligament
- Bursal surface of rotator cuff
