Abstract | OBJECTIVE: INDICATIONS: Arthroscopic treatment of nerve entrapment syndromes around the shoulder (suprascapular nerve, axillary nerve). Arthroscopic visualisation and release of osseous or ligamentous structures causing nerve entrapment. Arthroscopic decompression and resection of periglenoid ganglion cysts. Arthroscopic release of concomitant lesions (labrum, rotator cuff, biceps). CONTRAINDICATIONS: No clinical or neurological evidence for nerve entrapment syndrome. Lack of conditions for a complex arthroscopic procedure (technique of visualisation, instrumentation, knowledge of specific neuroanatomy). SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: POSTOPERATIVE TREATMENT: Immobilisation in sling during the day after the operation. Actively assisted and active mobilisation of shoulder controlled by discomfort level. Manual lymph drainage starting on postoperative day 1. Sling and further rehabilitation according to treatment of concomitant lesions.
