Abstract
Symptomatic spinoglenoid ganglion cyst is a rare cause of shoulder pain and disability. Surgical treatment, which may be considered after failed nonoperative treatment, includes open or arthroscopic cyst debridement. Arthroscopic treatment is less invasive and has the advantage of addressing intraarticular pathologies; however, exposure of the cyst may be deemed difficult. Furthermore, the suprascapular nerve is susceptible to iatrogenic injury owing to its close proximity to the posterior glenoid rim. The purpose of this article is to present our technique for arthroscopic spinoglenoid cyst decompression after preoperative ultrasound-guided methylene blue injection.
