Pearls and Pitfalls of Arthroscopic-Assisted Pectoralis Minor Transfer

Pearls Pitfalls
Do not complete the osteotomy of the coracoid with the sharp instruments. Lever up the chisel that is tapped into the slot created on the anterior cortex Neurovascular injury behind the coracoid process
Coracoplasty and soft-tissue dissection using the surgeon's finger behind the coracoid process facilitates the graft passage Less mobility of the harvested pectoralis minor tendon
Use of a prebent malleable slot-shaped cannula to protect neurovascular structures posteromedial to the coracoid process during the graft passage Aberrant anatomy of the pectoralis minor tendon
