Today, apart from Shoulder Replacement and major Sho uld er Fractures, nearly all Shoulder Pathology can be treated With arthroscopic techniques
Shoulder Arthroscopy the evolution of the technique Diagnostic Tool Final Treatment From tool of the devil , the treatment of choice of most shoulder pathologies

Shoulder Arthroscopy may be done in either the Beachchair, or lateral decubitus positions. Recently there have been modifications of both.
Lateral Decubitus Position Standard table Beanbag or support Axillary roll Head positioner Suspension device Limits to traction Limits to Position Side Support
Lateral Decubitus
By tilting the patient 20 to 30 degrees posteriorly, glenoid will be parallel to the floor Less traction: Decrease the risk of neurapraxia of the brachial plexus Accentuation of tears in the glenoid labrum as it pulled away from their beds Improved arthroscopic access to the inferior third of the glenoid labrum and capsule. Canale, S T, James H. Beaty, and Willis C. Campbell. Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics. Philadelphia, PA: Elsevier/Mosby, 2013
Vertical and longitudinal traction, with most of the traction applied vertically to distract the glenohumeral joint without subluxing it inferiorly 4 to 6 kgs of traction is applied 30 to 60 degrees of abduction 20 to 30 degrees of forward flexion 23% and 30%: neurapraxia after excessive arm traction. Canale, S T, James H. Beaty, and Willis C. Campbell. Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics. Philadelphia, PA: Elsevier/Mosby, 2013
All pressure points Padded with a pillow Acromion, ASIS, Below knee, lateral malleolus and one or more pillows between the knees and ankles. Canale, S T, James H. Beaty, and Willis C. Campbell. Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics. Philadelphia, PA: Elsevier/Mosby, 2013
Beach Chair Standard table with back support Head positioner
BEACH CHAIR POSITION The benefits of the “beach chair” position Interscalene block Faster and easier positioning Reduced risk of neurapraxia Less distortion of intra articular capsular anatomy, Improved mobility of the patient’s arm Ease in orientation Surgical manipulation in the subacromial space Ease in conversion to an open surgical procedure.
