The neighboring neurovascular structures were identified through an anteroinferior window made in the inferior glenohumeral ligament. Their relations to the K\u2010w and surrounding structures were recorded in both positions.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n The median distance from the musculocutaneous nerve to the K\u2010w was shorter in the lateral decubitus position than in the beach chair position (13.16 mm\n v<\/jats:italic>\n 20.49 mm,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .011). The cephalic vein was closer to the portal in the beach\u2010chair position than in the lateral decubitus position (median 8.48 mm\n v<\/jats:italic>\n 9.93 mm,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .039). The axillary nerve was closer to the K\u2010w in the lateral decubitus position than in the beach\u2010chair position (median 21.15 mm\n v<\/jats:italic>\n 25.54 mm,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .03). No differences in the distances from the K\u2010w to the subscapular and anterior circumflex arteries were found when comparing both positions. The mean percentage of subscapular muscle height from its superior border to the K\u2010w was 53.03%.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n This study showed the risk of injury establishing a transubscapular portal in either position. The musculocutaneous nerve and the cephalic vein are the most prone to injury. In general, the beach\u2010chair position proved to be safer.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Clinical Relevance<\/jats:title>\n Inserting anchor devices orthogonally would permit stronger fixation but presents the risk of damaging neurovascular structures. This study focused on showing the neurovascular risk of performing full orthogonal insertion. Considering the good results reported with the usual superior\u2010anterior portals, we do not recommend performing a transubscapular portal in routine shoulder arthroscopy.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2006.12.034","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,1]],"date-time":"2007-05-01T07:10:51Z","timestamp":1178003451000},"page":"522-528","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["A Comparison of Risk Between the Lateral Decubitus and the Beach\u2010Chair Position When Establishing an Anteroinferior Shoulder Portal: A Cadaveric Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Pablo Eduardo","family":"Gelber","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Hospital Universitari del Mar Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona Barcelona Spain"},{"name":"Department of Morphological Sciences, Anatomy and Embryology Unit Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona Barcelona Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francisco","family":"Reina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Morphological Sciences, Anatomy and Embryology Unit Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona Barcelona Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Enrique","family":"Caceres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Hospital Universitari del Mar Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona Barcelona Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan Carlos","family":"Monllau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Hospital Universitari del Mar Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona Barcelona Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_2_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.18002610104"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0749-8063(89)90172-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2004.04.063"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-8063(98)70039-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0749-8063(95)90126-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-8063(96)90063-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465990270050401"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2004.04.057"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1058-2746(03)00181-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-200410000-00003"}],"container-title":["Arthroscopy"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.elsevier.com\/content\/article\/PII:S0749806307000321?httpAccept=text\/xml","content-type":"text\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/api.elsevier.com\/content\/article\/PII:S0749806307000321?httpAccept=text\/plain","content-type":"text\/plain","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/arthroscopyjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1016\/j.arthro.2006.12.034","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/arthroscopyjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1016\/j.arthro.2006.12.034","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/arthroscopyjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1016\/j.arthro.2006.12.034","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,15]],"date-time":"2026-03-15T09:00:17Z","timestamp":1773565217000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/arthroscopyjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1016\/j.arthro.2006.12.034"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,5]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2007,5]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1016\/j.arthro.2006.12.034"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.arthro.2006.12.034","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0749-8063","1526-3231"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0749-8063","type":"print"},{"value":"1526-3231","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,5]]}}}
