A comprehensive selection of arthroscopic demonstrations you won't find anywhere else brought to you through a partnership of AAOS and AANA! Detailed video and commentary illustrate the steps necessary to achieve anatomic restoration for anterior glenohumeral instability with arthroscopic repairs, including identifying the defect, effective fixation, and sound knot tying.

Improve your understanding of the anatomic structures of the shoulder as they apply to arthroscopic portal placement and safe arthroscopic shoulder stabilisation technique. You will also discover how to resolve the most commonly occurring intra-operative pitfalls and complications in achieving anterior shoulder stabilisation arthroscopically.
