Arthroscopic Transcapsular Axillary Nerve Decompression
نویسندگان
چکیده
Symptomatic axillary nerve compression can result in debilitating pain and weakness that can result in decreased athletic performance. If a trial of nonoperative treatment is not successful, surgical intervention may be required. Open surgical techniques have provided satisfactory outcomes in small cohorts of patients. Recent advancements in surgical technique have provided the ability to perform all-arthroscopic axillary nerve decompression. Though prospective comparisons of open and arthroscopic axillary neurolysis techniques have not been reported, arthroscopic techniques may facilitate early rehabilitation by decreasing surgical morbidity. We describe a novel technique for all-arthroscopic transcapsular axillary nerve decompression for the treatment of quadrilateral space syndrome.

Arthroscopic management of glenohumeral arthrosis: humeral osteoplasty, capsular release, and arthroscopic axillary nerve release as a joint-preserving approach.
Glenohumeral arthrosis frequently results in substantial discomfort and activity limitations. Shoulder arthroplasty has been shown to provide reliable pain relief under these circumstances in older, less active populations. Younger patients, however, who desire to continue participation in high-demand activities, may not be optimal candidates for glenohumeral arthroplasty. Arthroscopic debridem...
