From: Decompression of the suprascapular nerve at the suprascapular notch under combined arthroscopic and ultrasound guidance

Figure 5

Two arthroscopic portals are created on either side of the probe (medial and lateral) in order to introduce the arthroscope and a blunt trocar. The trocar is used to create a working space around the notch: its tip is used to detach the soft tissue. The workspace gradually appears as a hypoechoic area. The arthroscope is then introduced under ultrasound guidance into the working area.
