Background:

Arthroscopic acromioclavicular (AC) joint excision is a common surgical procedure.
Performing AC joint excision arthroscopically via an anterior portal presents technical difficulties.
Accurate identification of the AC joint is crucial for successful arthroscopic excision.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a simple and reliable method for identifying the acromioclavicular joint during arthroscopic procedures.
To address the technical challenges associated with arthroscopic AC joint excision.
To improve the precision and efficiency of arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Main Methods:

A novel, simple technique for identifying the acromioclavicular joint is described.
The method is designed for implementation during standard arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
The technique focuses on anatomical landmarks and arthroscopic visualization.

Main Results:

The presented method simplifies the identification of the acromioclavicular joint.
This technique is technically straightforward and can be easily integrated into arthroscopic workflows.
Improved localization enhances the safety and efficacy of AC joint procedures.

Conclusions:

A simple method for identifying the acromioclavicular joint during arthroscopic surgery has been successfully demonstrated.
This technique can overcome the challenges of arthroscopic AC joint excision via an anterior portal.
The described method offers a valuable addition to the arthroscopic surgeon's armamentarium for shoulder procedures.
