Scapulothoracic arthroscopy is an established method for evaluating the articulation between the thoracic cage and the scapula. The "chicken-wing" position is often used to enhance visualization of the scapulothoracic space. There are situations in which the chicken-wing position is not feasible or practical, such as in simultaneous arthroscopy of both joints. In this article, we describe a new technique that aids in arthroscopy of the scapulothoracic joint, particularly when the chicken-wing position is unavailable.
肩胛胸壁关节镜检查是评估胸廓与肩胛骨之间关节的一种既定方法。“鸡翅”位常被用于增强肩胛胸壁间隙的可视化。在某些情况下，如同时进行双关节镜检查时，“鸡翅”位不可行或不实用。在本文中，我们描述了一种有助于肩胛胸壁关节镜检查的新技术，特别是在无法采用“鸡翅”位时。
