Anterior Capsule Augmentation and Posterior Glenohumeral Capsular Reconstruction With Human Dermal Allograft for Multidirectional Shoulder Instability.

ABSTRACT: Recurrent multidirectional shoulder instability is a common clinical presentation in certain demographics and sporting groups. One such demographic is patients with connective tissue disorders (CTD) such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), in whom shoulder pathologies are exacerbated owing to ligamentous laxity. Features of this laxity can present as both anterior and posterior shoulder instability, which are problematic sources of shoulder pain. Many patients with these injuries require surgical anterior and/or posterior glenohumeral reconstruction. Surgical reconstruction for posterior capsular defects can be challenging and has higher failure rates compared with anterior capsular reconstruction methods. Management can be especially difficult for patients with CTDs, and there is a requireme
