Diagnostic and surgical arthroscopy of the upper extremity has become much more common as surgeons have developed proficiency with the arthroscope and appropriate instrumentation has been developed. A thorough knowledge of the anatomy, disorders, arthroscopic variations, and pathologic findings of each joint is essential to perform the procedures successfully and to minimize complications. This chapter discusses indications for arthroscopic treatment, patient preparation, portal anatomy, specific arthroscopic techniques, and complications after arthroscopy of the shoulder, acromioclavicular, and elbow joints.
