The scapula has long been recognized as a key component in shoulder motion and a crucial part of the kinetic chain connecting the body's core and upper extremity. The pectoralis minor (PM) has garnered increasing attention as we better understand scapular kinematics and its role in shoulder pain and dysfunction. This is particularly important in patients with scapular dyskinesis and especially in overhead throwing athletes. The most of these patients achieve their recovery goals through nonoperative management, stretching, and strengthening protocols; however, some patients do not respond to nonoperative modalities. Several studies have recently shown improvement in shoulder motion and outcome scores after open surgical release of the PM from its scapular attachment. Arthroscopic release of the PM can be accomplished in the lateral decubitus position with standard shoulder arthroscopic portals.
