Abstract
Arthroscopic distal clavicle resection has become an increasingly popular procedure in orthopaedics, and various techniques have been published. Many of the arthroscopic distal clavicle resection techniques that have been reported require visualization from the lateral portal with an anterior working portal to perform the resection. While these techniques have reported high success rates, there is often difficulty in viewing the entire acromioclavicular joint from the 2 standard arthroscopic portals (lateral and anterior). This is due to the medial edge of the acromion blocking the ability to visualize the most superior and posterior portions of the distal clavicle. We propose a technique for arthroscopic distal clavicle resection using an accessory anterior portal.
