Techniques for treating shoulder instability and the implications of different repair methods, like Rimplissage, were explored, highlighting the technical aspects and decision-making processes involved in surgical repairs. The importance of closing the posterior portal in posterior instability surgeries was also discussed, although some experts questioned its necessity.
