(a-f) Step-by-step illustration of shoulder arthroscopy in anatomical shoulder arthroplasty: (a) diagnostic arthroscopy of a left shoulder with visualization from a posterior portal; (b) visualization of humeral and glenoid component surfaces; (c) harvesting of tissue samples; (d) rotator cuff inspection, mirror phenomenon visible on the humeral head; (e) arthrolysis of the anteroinferior capsule; (f) evaluation of implant stability with a trocar via the posterior portal and visualization from a lateral portal.
