Abstract
The development of arthroscopy has dramatically changed orthopaedics. Concerning the shoulder joint, arthroscopy is a safe and reliable minimally invasive operational technique that has gained popularity in the past decades over the open methods to manage the vast majority of shoulder pathology.
The indications for arthroscopy have been expanded, and sophisticated instruments have been invented to make this technique more comfortable and practical. The rapid evolution of technology and imaging has made the manufacturing companies offer equipment and instruments alternatives with minor differences providing the surgeons with many options to choose from.
Surgeons should be kept informed of the option offered and familiarised with the proper utilisation of the available equipment to take advantage of them depending on the patients’ anatomical variances or the procedure’s needs. The correct use can also ensure the available equipment and instrumentation’s longevity, avoiding shortages or damages.
This chapter includes every option offered nowadays for shoulder arthroscopy and aims to help the surgeon know his weapons available.
