Shoulder arthroscopy has advanced significantly, enabling precise diagnosis and treatment of shoulder conditions. A standardized 15-point glenohumeral and 8-point subacromial examination ensures thorough evaluation and effective surgical intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Arthroscopic Techniques
  • Shoulder Anatomy

Background:

  • Shoulder arthroscopy has evolved significantly since its inception in 1918.
  • Advances in technology and surgical skills have revolutionized orthopedic evaluation and treatment.
  • Arthroscopic examination allows for direct visualization, documentation, and targeted treatment of shoulder pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a standardized system for comprehensive shoulder arthroscopic examination.
  • To detail a reproducible method for evaluating glenohumeral and subacromial structures.
  • To outline techniques for arthroscopic subacromial decompression, distal clavicle resection, and rotator cuff evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic 15-point glenohumeral and 8-point subacromial examination protocol is described.
