title: Arthroscopic removal of an osteoid osteoma of the shoulder.
abstract: Two cases of arthroscopic retrieval of intra-articular shoulder pathology are presented. With this technique, areas that are often difficult to expose in an open fashion and those previously deemed inaccessible arthroscopically are localized readily. In the setting of intra-articular pathology, thought should be given to the possibility of arthroscopic retrieval or excision before proceeding with open surgery.
