We describe a technique of resecting the superomedial border of the scapula for treatment of “snapping scapula.” We have performed 5 consecutive open resections with the patient in the beach-chair position, and results have been good. This technique may be of particular benefit in patients who undergo concomitant glenohumeral arthroscopy.
