Novel and effective arthroscopic extracapsular stabilization technique for anterior shoulder instability-BLS.

Purpose: Arthroscopic Bankart repair for the treatment of anterior shoulder instability is associated with a high rate of recurrent instability. Extracapsular stabilization of the glenohumeral joint with enhancement of anterior wall soft tissues may be an effective alternative treatment technique. The aim of this study is to retrospectively assess clinical outcomes in the treatment of anterior shoulder instability using a novel technique of anterior extracapsular stabilization-"between glenohumeral ligaments and subscapularis tendon" (BLS).
