Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Arthroscopy

Background:

  • Multidirectional glenohumeral instability (MDI) without a Bankart lesion presents a significant clinical challenge.
  • Conservative management is the primary approach for MDI, but some cases require surgical intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of arthroscopic pancapsular plication for treating multidirectional glenohumeral instability.
  • To assess the technique's flexibility in addressing varying degrees of laxity and associated capsulolabral defects.

Main Methods:

  • Arthroscopic pancapsular plication was performed to address glenohumeral laxity.
  • Suture anchors were utilized as an adjunct procedure for capsulolabral defects when necessary.

Main Results:

  • Arthroscopic pancapsular plication demonstrated flexibility in correcting laxity direction and degree.
  • The technique was safely and efficaciously performed, showing documented extended success in active patients.

Conclusions:

  • Arthroscopic pancapsular plication is a viable and effective surgical option for MDI in cases resistant to conservative treatment.
  • This arthroscopic approach offers a safe and successful method for managing glenohumeral instability in active individuals.
