title: Arthroscopic treatment of coracoid impingement.
abstract: A review of the literature reveals that surgical treatment of coracoid impingement has heretofore involved open surgical decompression in all cases. Previously unreported, the authors describe an arthroscopic technique to treat coracoid impingement syndrome, demonstrate its feasibility, and cover the specific technical points that facilitate this procedure.
