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.

Post-traumatic Coracoclavicular Ligament Ossification: A Case Report and Surgical Technique.

Department of Orthopedic surgery, Hôpital Ambroise Paré, AP-HP, UVSQ University, Boulogne-Billancourt, France.
Case: A patient presented with complete coracoclavicular ligament ossification after an unnoticed acromioclavicular joint Rockwood Type IV dislocation. He had full passive range of motion in the glenohumeral joint but was disabled by a loss of both active (80°) and passive (90°) abduction due to insufficient passive scapulo-thoracic motion. He was treated with an arthroscopic osteotomy of the coracoclavicular ligament ossification.

Remplissage fills the Hill-Sachs lesion to prevent glenohumeral "engagement" and recurrent instability. Remplissage is not generally indicated in patients with smaller, nonengaging Hill-Sachs lesions.

However, PSI might be more common and possibly accounts for up to 24% of all young, active patients treated for shoulder instability. The etiology of PSI is complex and multifactorial, making accurate diagnosis, classification, and treatment challenging.

It is a nonanatomic procedure that requires transfer of the coracoid process, together with the conjoint tendon, to the anterior glenoid margin. The aim is to prevent recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation through a "triple blocking" effect, which includes restoring bone loss, providing a dynamic sling effect, and performing capsulolabral repair.

The Steadman Clinic, Vail, Colorado, USA.
Background: Snapping scapula syndrome (SSS) is a rare condition that is oftentimes debilitating. For patients whose symptoms are resistant to nonoperative treatment, arthroscopic surgery may offer relief. Because of the rarity of SSS, reports of clinical outcomes after arthroscopic SSS surgery are primarily limited to small case series and short-term follow-up studies.
