What is a Shoulder Capsular Reconstruction?
A shoulder capsular reconstruction is a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure. Two or three very tiny incisions are made on the shoulder. An arthroscopic camera is placed in the shoulder so the joint structures can be viewed on a nearby television monitor. The following steps complete the procedure:
Small holes are made in the shoulder bone
Suture anchors are placed in the holes
The sutures are passed through the shoulder capsule, carefully bringing it together for a tightening effect
Special surgical knots are made to ensure the sutures remain in place and the capsule stays tight
The incisions are carefully closed
