Dr. Peter J. Millett, Vail, CO, specializes in arthroscopic shoulder surgery and is an expert in suprascapular nerve decompression. He performs arthroscopic shoulder surgery for suprascapular nerve decompression on patients who have been diagnosed with this condition via an MRI. This shoulder injury is often caused by direct trauma to the shoulder or neck area and will cause posterolateral shoulder pain in patients. Surgical treatment for this condition includes an arthroscopic treatment approach at both the distal nerve lesion and proximal nerve lesion.
A presentation regarding this particular type of shoulder injury is highlighted in this video. Following the presentation, live video footage from surgery is included. The video ends with a follow-up presentation regarding patient outcomes and surgery success.
