title: Arthroscopic rotator interval repair in glenohumeral instability: description of an operative technique.
abstract: Rotator interval tear is one of the lesions identified in patients with glenohumeral instability. We present our technique for arthroscopic repair that eliminates entry into the subacromial space and allows the surgeon to suture the rotator interval under direct intra-articular vision.
