Abstract

Tensioning of the inferior glenohumeral ligament complex (IGLC) before arthroscopic repair is a critical step in restoring stability. This article describes a simple surgical technique to tension the IGLC percutaneously before arthroscopic fixation. This technique eliminates the need for grasping instruments and a second anterior portal.
