“…Arthroscopic techniques for reattaching the labrum can be divided into three categories: (1) a transglenoid suture technique, 14,26,35,51,62,74,76 (2) arthroscopically delivered and tied suture anchors, 33,40,93 and (3) arthroscopically delivered biodegradable tacs. 4,12,25,26,28,51,52,86,92 A comparison of the reported rates of recurrent dislocation for each technique is made in the Table. Multidirectional Instability The most commonly performed and most successfully reported surgical procedure for multidirectional instability of the shoulder is an anterior capsular shift, an open procedure that involves the overlaying and thus shortening of the anterior and inferior capsule. 3,60,77 Closure of the capsular interval between the subscapularis and supraspinatus has been reported to be successful in a small series of patients with subluxation.…”
