Video Summary

In the video, Joe Toro from Ocean County Sports Medicine discusses the operating room setup for shoulder arthroscopy in the lateral position. He explains that he prefers using a beanbag on the table to position the patient's shoulder correctly. He also mentions the placement of pillows for leg stability and the importance of ensuring the neck is in a neutral position. Toro expresses his dislike for ropes and pulleys, stating that they don't provide enough control over rotation. Instead, he prefers using a robot arm that offers precise traction force and control over rotation. Toro also provides tips for properly securing the arm in the holder device. He concludes by encouraging viewers to explore various robot assist arms and find the one they prefer.
