APEX Foundations in Arthroscopy Basic Lectures-Basic Diagnostic Shoulder Arthroscopy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker gives a general orientation to performing a scope in the shoulder. They demonstrate using a video of a diagnostic exam of the shoulder joint, done from both an anterior and posterior portal. The speaker explains their method of using an interchangeable cannula system and a metal cannula to perform the exam without needing additional cannulas. They emphasize the importance of a systematic approach in documenting the anatomy of each patient and using it as a reference for operative reports. The video shows the speaker examining various structures in the shoulder joint, including the biceps tendon, labrum, inferior glenohumeral ligament, supraspinatus, and subscapularis. They also discuss variability in the middle glenohumeral ligament and labral structures, as well as a normal sublabral foramen. The speaker concludes by discussing the bursa and the importance of addressing pathology in a stepwise approach, starting with the glenohumeral joint and then moving to the subacromial space. They provide a schedule for the day's activities and mention upcoming presentations on labral stuff, rotator cuff repair principles, and anatomy. The video is presented in an educational setting and was not credited to any specific person. The video provides a comprehensive overview of performing a scope in the shoulder joint and highlights the importance of a systematic approach to examining and understanding the anatomy.
