Arthroscopic repair of the supraspinatus tendon with single-stage decompression of the suprascapular nerve at the superscapular notch

The history of shoulder problems dates back to ancient times, and the joint plays a significant role in various aspects human life. Throughout history, doctors have been providing assistance individuals experiencing pain. In 20th century, advancements were made surgery, driven by an improved understanding biomechanics recognition new diagnostic methods. Arthroscopy, minimally invasive surgical technique, was first used for diagnosing conditions only about 30 years ago. Since then, it has replaced many open procedures due its enhanced visualization capabilities lower invasiveness, leading reduced injury rates. Suprascapular nerve decompression at suprascapular notch is example procedure that benefited from arthroscopy. Dr. Laurent Lafosse's detailed description arthroscopic manipulation 2007 crucial advancing this technique. This article aims shed light on pathogenesis compression following supraspinatus tendon retraction examine potential complications neuropathy. principal author successfully performed 20 repair operations with simultaneous notch, achieving positive outcomes postoperative period.
