Arthroscopic approach to traumatic anterior shoulder instability

For decades, clinicians have been in search of the technically simple, highly effective, reproducible procedure for recurrent anterior shoulder instability, complemented by a facilitated rehabilitation, minimal motion loss, and an acceptable complication rate. What ensued is a wide array of open procedures in which the recurrence rates are acceptable, but in which rotation is commonly sacrificed, late arthrosis engendered, and the rehabilitation grueling.
