Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Joe Toro from Ocean County Sports Medicine and Rutgers Medical School discusses tricks and techniques for arthroscopic instability surgery. He emphasizes the importance of restoring normal anatomy and stability without losing range of motion and function. Dr. Toro explains the stress versus strain curve and how ligaments go through elastic and plastic regions when pulled. He introduces the circle theory of the glenoid, which explains how pulling on one side of the capsule affects the entire capsule. He also discusses the use of various portals and demonstrates a capsular split shift technique for tightening the capsule. Additionally, he shares a tip for using a trans subscapularis percutaneous portal for anchor insertion. Overall, these tips aim to assist surgeons in performing successful arthroscopic instability surgeries.
