Footprint fixation with a double-row technique is a new concept for
arthroscopic capsulolabral reconstruction in anterior shoulder
instability. The described double-row fixation technique with 2
suture anchors on the glenoid neck and 3 on the glenoid rim allows
healing of the capsulolabral complex to a broader bony surface and
not only to the thin glenoid rim as achieved with current
techniques. Because the anchor insertion W-shaped form resembles the
star constellation of Cassiopeia, this technique is called the
Cassiopeia double-row technique. The restoration of the original
capsulolabral footprint with the Cassiopeia double-row technique by
a stronger fixation should decrease recurrence rates of instability
after arthroscopic stabilization but we need longer follow-up and
larger numbers of patients to confirm.
