“…The standard posterior portal (SPP) is the first portal used by arthroscopic surgeons during shoulder arthroscopy (6,12,13). The SPP is the most effective and preferred portal, which allows excellent visualization of the glenohumeral joint, posterior glenoid cavity, and subacromial space with a lower risk than the other portals and also it paves the way for other approaches (1,6,9,(12)(13)(14). In the literature the posterior portal has been classified as posteroinferior, posterosuperior, and posterolateral with respect to the posterolateral corner of the acromion (5,8).…”

Background/aim: The localization of the standard posterior portal of shoulder arthroscopy and landmarks mentioned in the literature are unclear. The purpose of this prospective cadaveric study was to determine the localization of the standard posterior portal and its distance to the neural structures. Materials and methods:One fresh frozen and 10 formalin-fixed adult cadaveric shoulders were dissected. In the beach chair position, a 5-mm trocar was placed anteroposteriorly from the superior edge of the subscapularis muscle, superior to the tip of the coracoid process and tangent to the glenoid. The relevant distances of the posterior exit point were measured.Results: In all specimens, the exit point was a triangular fibrous area, between the posterior and lateral parts of the deltoid. Medial and inferior distances of the trocar to the posterolateral tip of the acromion were 1.88 ± 0.53 cm and 1.35 ± 0.34 cm and distances to the axillary and suprascapular nerves were 4.54 ± 1.08 cm and 2.54 ± 0.85 cm, respectively. Conclusion:The most important finding of this study was the superficial localization of the soft spot between the posterior and lateral parts of deltoid.

“…There are many portal placement options described in the literature, 2 , 3 , 4 , 8 , 9 but the posterior portal is the most commonly described. The posterior portal is traditionally introduced at a point relative to the posterolateral corner of the acromion (PCA) through an area referred to as the “soft spot”, which has now been identified as a triangular fibrocartilaginous area between the deltoid heads.…”
