Shoulder Arthroscopy in the Lateral Decubitus Position.

Project description:Arthroscopic shoulder surgery can be performed in both the beach chair and lateral decubitus positions. The lateral decubitus position allows for excellent exposure to all aspects of the glenohumeral joint and is therefore frequently employed in procedures such as stabilization, in which extensive visualization of the inferior and posterior aspects of the joint is required. Improved visualization is imparted due to applied lateral and axial traction on the operative arm, which increases the glenohumeral joint space. To perform arthroscopy surgery in the lateral decubitus position successfully, meticulous care during patient positioning and setup must be taken. In this Technical Note, we describe the steps required to safely, efficiently, and reproducibly perform arthroscopic shoulder surgery in the lateral decubitus position.

Basics of Shoulder Arthroscopy Part IV: Diagnostic Arthroscopy in the Lateral Decubitus Position.

Project description:Shoulder arthroscopy is a versatile method for treating a variety of shoulder pathologies in a minimally invasive manner. Typically, it is performed with the patient positioned in a beach-chair or lateral decubitus position with the latter being conventionally preferred for shoulder instability work given the use of traction and creation of a distracted joint. This allows ideal visualization and accessibility of the anterior, inferior, and posterior aspects of the glenoid, labrum, and axillary pouch. Despite the apparent advantages, the lateral decubitus position comes with its own technical challenges. Many of these may stem from surgeon training, experience, and level of familiarity with the positioning and arthroscopic view. This Technical Note demonstrates a reproducible and teachable method for efficient and effective diagnostic shoulder arthroscopy in the lateral decubitus position, along with presenting its associated advantages and disadvantages.

Basic Shoulder Arthroscopy: Lateral Decubitus Patient Positioning.

Project description:Shoulder arthroscopy offers a minimally invasive surgical approach to treat a variety of shoulder pathologies. The patient can be positioned in either the lateral decubitus or the beach chair position. This note and accompanying video describe the operating room setup for shoulder arthroscopy in the lateral decubitus position, including positioning of the arms, head, and sterile preparation and draping. Appropriate lateral decubitus positioning for shoulder arthroscopy with careful attention to detail will promote ease of surgical intervention and minimize complications.

Comprehensive Arthroscopic Shoulder Stabilization in the Lateral Decubitus Position.

Project description:Arthroscopic shoulder stabilization offers a safe and effective means for restoring glenohumeral mechanics in the setting of shoulder instability. Modern arthroscopic techniques have allowed improved access and efficiency when treating patients with shoulder instability. However, access to certain areas of the labrum and the creation of safe accessory portals can still prove difficult for the arthroscopic surgeon. Currently, there is debate as to the ideal patient position, portal location, equipment, and technique for addressing anterior-inferior labral pathology. The following article presents a safe and effective approach to accessing the labrum for treatment of shoulder instability in the lateral decubitus position. In addition, this paper highlights the use of accessory portals, including a percutaneous "7-o'clock" portal for suture anchor placement, along with multiple types of suture anchor and suture shuttling techniques.

Basics of Elbow Arthroscopy Part III: Positioning and Diagnostic Arthroscopy in the Lateral Decubitus Position.

Project description:In recent years, arthroscopy has gained popularity as a preferred treatment of a multitude of pathologies affecting the elbow. Since its initial description in 1985, many modifications have been made as our knowledge and technology have advanced. Currently, the majority of arthroscopic procedures are performed in either the lateral decubitus or supine suspended position. In this work, we discuss the history, patient positioning, and key steps for performing elbow arthroscopy in the lateral decubitus position. In addition to key steps, a number of strengths and limitations of this set up are discussed in detail. When properly executed, elbow arthroscopy can be performed in a safe and efficient manner with minimal risk to patients.

Use of a Mechanical Forearm Holder During Elbow Arthroscopy in Lateral Decubitus Position.

Project description:Proper patient positioning is a key consideration when performing elbow arthroscopy. The lateral decubitus position for arthroscopic management of a variety of elbow disorders has recently gained popularity among elbow surgeons. There are several advantages of the lateral decubitus position. However, the elbow rests in 90° of flexion with the hand hanging free, and an assistant is required to maintain any adjustment to the elbow's flexion angle. This article describes how a commercially available low-profile multi-articulated mechanical upper-limb holder may be used as a mechanical forearm holder in conjunction with a classic static arm support to provide stable positioning of the elbow in space during elbow arthroscopy. This technique simply and reproducibly provides an effective means to temporarily or permanently maintain the elbow joint in any desired degree of extension or flexion during elbow arthroscopy without the need for an assistant.

Basics of Shoulder Arthroscopy Part III: Lateral Decubitus Patient Positioning and Operating Room Setup.

Project description:Shoulder arthroscopy is one of the most common orthopaedic procedures. Since its introduction in the 1970s, significant advances have been made in surgical techniques and instrumentation. Shoulder arthroscopy is often performed in either the beach-chair or lateral decubitus position, and each positioning technique has its own benefits. In this work, we will describe the history of lateral decubitus positioning for shoulder arthroscopy. We outline a detailed guide for safe and consistent lateral decubitus positioning, and key steps of lateral decubitus positioning will be emphasized. Pearls, pitfalls, advantages, and disadvantages of this positioning technique will also be discussed. With appropriate technique, lateral decubitus positioning is safe and effective for arthroscopic treatment of various shoulder pathologies.

Modified Semilateral Decubitus Position for Shoulder Arthroscopy and Its Application for Open Surgery of the Shoulder (One Setting for All Shoulder Procedures).

Project description:Two standard patient positions for shoulder arthroscopy are the beach-chair and lateral decubitus positions. Both positions have advantages and disadvantages in many aspects. Surgeons choose the position based on their preferences, mainly the orientation of the anatomy. If an operation needs to be converted to an open procedure, a patient who is placed in the lateral decubitus position might need to undergo repositioning and re-draping, which result in extending the operative time and increasing the risk of infection. For this circumstance, the modified semilateral decubitus position offers the same advantages as the lateral decubitus position and can be adjusted to achieve a more upright position similar to the beach-chair position.

The Supine Position for Shoulder Arthroscopy.

Project description:Shoulder arthroscopy is traditionally performed with the patient in either the beach chair position or the lateral decubitus position. Each position has its advantages and disadvantages. The main topics for consideration include ease of surgery, view into the surgical field, risks to the patient, and economics of the setup. In the lateral decubitus position, it is inconvenient to work through the anterior portal and it is difficult to convert to an open procedure. In the beach chair position, it is difficult to manage the airway and cerebral oxygenation and the patient's head and the beach chair frame obstruct the insertion of a scope into the superior and posterior portals. This technical note presents the supine position for shoulder arthroscopic surgery. The supine position does not have the disadvantages of the traditional positions. In addition, it is comparatively easy to set up and comfortable for the patient.
