thermal capsular shrinkage/capsular shift

kt3331,000+ posts

I had my shoulder scoped out last week 19 months after a slap repair and a bicep tenodesis. Besides mild fraying of the rotator cuff and the posterior labrum everything looked in tact. However, the doc said I have excess laxity of my glenohumeral joint, specifically anterior instability.

I was not able to throw after the first surgery, despite a year of strenuous pt and upping my weight. So I am going to pursue another surgery where the doc is going to do a thermal capsular shrinkage, also known as a capsular shift.

Does anyone have experience with this?
