The Biomechanics of the Beach Chair Position: How Positioning Impacts Surgical Visualization

The beach chair position in shoulder surgery places the patient in a semi-upright seated posture that improves visualization of the glenohumeral joint, rotator cuff, and surrounding anatomy. When properly stabilized with surgical positioning equipment, this configuration enhances arthroscopic access, supports ergonomic instrument angles, and helps maintain physiologic stability throughout the procedure. Proper positioning directly affects […]
