Abstract:
Several arthroscopic techniques to treat anterior shoulder instability have been described. Bankart repair may be insufficient in cases with some degree of bone loss, and arthroscopic Latarjet is technically challenging. It is not rare to find at the time of surgery a more extensive labral tear (SLAP lesion) or an insufficient anterior capsulolabral tissue. We describe for those cases a dynamic anterior stabilization where using the long head of the biceps we are treating the SLAP lesion and at the same time it provides the "sling effect" of a Latarjet procedure for the anterior instability.
