Arthroscopic & Open Treatment of Multidirectional Instability

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Nick Traslini, an orthopedic surgery professor from Wake Forest, discussed the surgical management of multidirectional instability in this lecture. He addressed the difference between laxity and instability, highlighted important tests for evaluating shoulder stability, and explained the surgical techniques for addressing this condition, including the open capsular shift and arthroscopic capsular labral plication. Dr. Traslini emphasized the importance of achieving appropriate capsular reduction and restoring labral stability for successful outcomes. He also mentioned the possibility of reconstructive options in revision cases and the significance of postoperative rehabilitation. In conclusion, non-operative treatment remains the first-line approach, with surgery being considered for refractory cases.
