Abstract

Acromioclavicular joint cysts are a relatively uncommon problem that can lead to symptoms, significant cosmetic concerns, and may signify concurrent shoulder pathology. Treatment options have traditionally consisted of open resection techniques. Arthroscopic management allows for less soft-tissue disruption and the ability to address concomitant pathologies. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe an arthroscopic technique for acromioclavicular cyst decompression.
