An alternative portal for scapulothoracic arthroscopy.
Access to the superior angle of the scapula during scapulothoracic arthroscopy with current standard portals can be difficult. A safe, effective alternative portal for scapulothoracic arthroscopy, located superior to the scapula, is described, which enables easier resection of the superomedial angle for treatment of the snapping scapula.
