Fig 2.

Surgical technique.

The patient is in the lateral decubitus position with full support to the abdomen and posterior sacrum (Fig 2a). The shoulder is fixed with an arm sling and suspended with the shoulder retractor. Sterilization and draping are performed as in traditional shoulder arthroscopy surgery. The mid-third clavicle is exposed for fixation of navigation reference frame through a 1-cm incision (Fig 2b). The patient is covered with a sterilized drape (Fig 2c), and the O-arm is positioned around the patient at a 30° tilt to avoid contacting the sterilized arm (Fig 2d).
