Video Summary
This video demonstrates suprascapular nerve (SSN) release surgery on a 25-year-old athlete with shoulder pain, weakness, and muscle atrophy. Diagnostic tests confirmed SSN neuropathy. The patient is positioned in a seated "big chair" setup. Using arthroscopic portals, the surgeon identifies and cleans the coracoid area, controls bleeding, and locates medial and lateral SSN portals via spinal needles. Blunt dissection retracts fat tissue to reveal the transverse ligament, which is carefully cut and resected near the suprascapular notch. The procedure frees the nerve beneath the ligament, restoring its mobility. The video aims to simplify this complex surgical technique.
