Abstract
With the advent of shoulder arthroscopy came a unique detailed perspective into the anatomy of the shoulder. It is essential that the surgeon performing shoulder arthroscopy be familiar with and understand the intraarticular and subacromial anatomy and its normal variants in order to appreciate any pathologic situations that may occur. This chapter discusses the normal arthroscopic anatomic variants of the glenohumeral joint and the subacromial space.
