Combined Arthroscopic Scapulothoracic Bursectomy, Partial Scapulectomy, and Pectoralis Minor Release for the Treatment of Snapping Scapular Syndrome
Snapping scapula syndrome (SSS) is a source of pain and discomfort in patients. It is not uncommon for patients who present with SSS to have some degree of scapular dysfunction, especially with the tightness of the pectoralis minor (PM) muscle. In this Technical Note, we demonstrate our preferred te...

| description | Snapping scapula syndrome (SSS) is a source of pain and discomfort in patients. It is not uncommon for patients who present with SSS to have some degree of scapular dysfunction, especially with the tightness of the pectoralis minor (PM) muscle. In this Technical Note, we demonstrate our preferred technique for arthroscopic scapulothoracic bursectomy and partial scapulectomy with concomitant pectoralis minor release for the treatment of symptomatic SSS and PM tightness. In the treatment of these patients, PM release is beneficial because arthroscopic scapulothoracic bursectomy or partial scapulectomy alone may result in residual scapular dyskinesis. |
