Abstract
Axillary nerve compression is a rare cause of posterolateral shoulder pain. Once the diagnosis is confirmed and after failure of conservative measures, open procedures have been the mainstay of treatment for several decades. More recently, arthroscopic techniques have been proposed, which offer several advantages, including improved access to difficult locations, better visualization, and less surgical morbidity. The objective of this Technical Note is to describe an arthroscopic neurolysis of the axillary nerve from the inferior humeral pouch, through the quadrilateral space and into the subdeltoid recess.
