Arthroscopic Repair of Humeral Avulsion of the Glenohumeral Ligament for Anterior Shoulder Instability

Humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) is a rare cause of anterior shoulder instability. Recurrent instability and anterior shoulder pain could be caused by an unrepaired HAGL; therefore, making the diagnosis is crucial. Only a few articles describe arthroscopic HAGL repair.

Description
Summary:Humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) is a rare cause of anterior shoulder instability. Recurrent instability and anterior shoulder pain could be caused by an unrepaired HAGL; therefore, making the diagnosis is crucial. Only a few articles describe arthroscopic HAGL repair. This uncommon technique uses lateral decubitus arthroscopy and standard Bankart instrumentation. Different methods used to facilitate visualization of the working space as well as anchor placements are described. [Display omitted]
