Deltopectoral Approach to the Proximal Humerus [20:42]
Published on September 5, 2025
Surgical Guidance
This video is about the deltopectoral approach to the proximal humerus, starting with patient positioning in beach chair and supine positions. Key surface anatomy is identified, including the acromion landmarks. The deltopectoral incision is marked, and techniques for managing soft tissues and the cephalic vein are discussed. Proper identification of the subscapularis tendon and management of rotator cuff tendons are crucial, along with understanding the axillary nerve's path. This video is part of the Surgical Guidance Masterclass Shoulder.
