Anterior shoulder stabilization

Anterior shoulder stabilization is a surgical procedure aimed at preventing or correcting shoulder dislocations, specifically when the front part of the shoulder joint slips out of place. The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint, and instability can occur if the supporting structures, such as ligaments and labrum, become damaged or torn. During the procedure, the surgeon repairs or tightens these tissues, often using sutures or tiny anchors, to restore stability. This helps prevent future dislocations and allows the patient to regain normal shoulder function and strength.
