title: Sliding capsular discopexy.
abstract: A surgical technique for inferior repositioning of disk attachments is described. This reattachment of the disk permits much more flexibility and possibly more permanence of the repositioning of the disk and a greater surgical margin of safety by avoiding the disk-bilaminar zone junction. The technique has been used on patients in selected cases in the past 2 years with acceptable clinical results.
