APEX Shoulder Mastering Surgical Techniques for Clinical Success-MDI: Balancing the Shoulder All the Way Around

MDI: Balancing the Shoulder All the Way Around

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker presents on multidirectional instability of the shoulder. They discuss the role of the labrum capsule and interval in this condition and the surgical technique of reducing inferior capsular volume to stabilize the shoulder. They emphasize the importance of symptomatic translation and signs of ligamentous laxity in diagnosing this syndrome. The pathology involves a loss of dynamic stability and proprioception in the shoulder joint. Surgical options include suture pleats, shifting the labrum, and closing the rotator interval. The goals of surgery are to decrease capsular volume, retain stretch receptors, and repair labral tears if present. The post-operative rehab involves immobilization and a lengthy recovery period. No specific credits are mentioned in the video.
