Abstract

Dynamic anterior stabilization of the shoulder is a surgical procedure based on a triple soft-tissue block. This procedure is designed to fit within a gray zone between the Bristow-Latarjet procedure and the Bankart procedure, where the patient would not need a bone graft; however, capsular reconstruction alone may be insufficient to yield reliable stabilization. This article describes dynamic anterior stabilization of the shoulder using the adjustable-loop device.
