Where this comes from

Abstract

Recent literature has suggested that patient positioning matters when it comes to arthroscopic anterior shoulder stabilization. Although advocates of the lateral decubitus position argue that only in this position can the anteroinferior and posteroinferior aspects of the glenoid be adequately visualized and instrumented, outcomes following posterior shoulder stabilization appear independent of patient position.
