Defining surgical indications in subcoracoid cysts: 3D volumetric analysis and elastography guide tendon-preserving arthroscopic decompression
Arthroscopic subcoracoid cyst decompression restores subscapularis tendon elasticity and shoulder function, with larger cysts (> 2.2 cm³) signaling advanced pathology. Complete cyst excision is critical, as residual volumes impair recovery. SWE emerges as a vital biomarker for postoperative monitoring.
