Video Summary
In this video, Dr. Travis Decker, an orthopedic sports surgeon for the United States Air Force, discusses the lateral decubitus position and its benefits in shoulder arthroscopic procedures. He highlights that the choice between the lateral decubitus and the beach chair position should be based on the surgeon's preference and the specific case. Dr. Decker explains that the lateral decubitus position offers improved visualization and increased working room, along with enhanced cerebral perfusion compared to the beach chair position. However, he cautions about the risks of traction injuries and the challenge of switching to an open approach if needed. Dr. Decker discusses specific cases and demonstrates portal placement techniques for both instability procedures and rotator cuff pathology. He also emphasizes the importance of knowing the shoulder jig system and utilizing technological tools to optimize visualization and efficiency in the lateral decubitus position.
