Abstract:
Anterior shoulder instability remains one of the main indications for shoulder surgery. We present a modified way of treating anterior shoulder instability in the beach-chair position from an anterior arthroscopic approach through the rotator interval. This technique opens the rotator interval, which increases the working area and allows us to work without cannulae. Through this approach, we can treat all injuries comprehensively and, if necessary, switch to other arthroscopic techniques used for instability such as arthroscopic Latarjet or anterior ligamentoplasties.
