18.1 Introduction

Shoulder arthroscopy is the second most common orthopedic surgery performed annually in the United States.1 Shoulder arthroscopy allows for the treatment of a variety of pathology, including shoulder instability, labral tears, rotator cuff tears, biceps tendonitis, acromioclavicular joint arthrosis, and subacromial bursitis.2,3 Shoulder arthroscopy allows for the management of complex shoulder problems through minimal incisions, not possible via open techniques. Labral tears, specifically tears of the anterior-inferior labrum (Bankart lesions), can be very common, particularly following traumatic dislocation, or subluxation in the young athletic population.4–6 Mastery of the gross and arthroscopic anatomy of the glenohumeral joint and subacromial space are essential for performing shoulder arthroscopy. The purpose of this chapter is to review the basic techniques of shoulder arthroscopy, namely diagnostic arthroscopy and subacromial decompression.
