Video Summary

In this video, Maria de Hasra presents the anterior labral circumferential onlay technique (ALCOT) for labral reconstruction in the treatment of anterior shoulder instability. The study aimed to compare the ALCOT technique with a lateral procedure and assess its effectiveness in restoring glenohumeral joint stability. A controlled laboratory study was conducted using ten cadaveric shoulders. Biomechanical testing showed that ALCOT technique restored humeral head translation and force ratio to the same levels as the native state, while the lateral technique failed to restore humeral head translation. The ALCO technique may be a useful option for anterior glenohumeral instability treatment when other techniques fail.
