Abstract
The importance of the rotator interval in glenohumeral instability has become increasingly apparent as anatomic studies have illustrated a s ignificant increase in inferior and posterior translations after secti oning of the coracohumeral and superior glenohumeral ligaments. Limite d reports of this lesion exist in the literature, and all such lesions have been treated with open procedures, with good clinical results. T his report describes an arthroscopic technique for imbrication of the rotator interval in treating symptomatic defects and laxity in the ant erosuperior shoulder capsule.
