The patient's shoulder is adducted, externally rotated, and extended 15–30°, and the elbow is extended; (b) An Ahn's Needle inserted in the skin over the lesser tubercle of the humerus and advanced under the coracoid process, sliding on the surface of the subscapularis muscle in a human skeleton model; (c) An Ahn's Needle inserted in a patient under ultrasonographic guidance; (d) Ultrasonographic finding of the subcoracoid release procedure; (e) A linear ultrasound probe wrapped in a sterile surgical glove to prevent contamination
