Abstract
This disclosure details methods for improving the joint kinematics of an unstable joint. An exemplary method includes reconstructing an anterior cable region of a superior capsule of a glenohumeral joint. The anterior cable region may be reconstructed by fixating a graft at a greater tuberosity of a humerus to stabilize a glenohumeral joint. The graft is generally localized at the anatomical attachment site of the native anterior cable of the superior capsular ligament and extends from a superior glenoid to an anatomical attachment site of the native capsule or anterior cable. The graft can be an autograft or an allograft.
