The goal of today's sports orthopedics and sports traumatology must be to enable injured athletes to return to their own performance level. This is achieved through minimally invasive techniques and arthroscopic surgical methods using resorbable or titanium anchor systems in combination with laser or electrothermal probes. Experts from around the world demonstrate the current state of arthroscopic and open stabilization procedures for unstable or lax shoulders (anterior, posterior, and multidirectional shoulder instability), percutaneous osteosynthesis of humeral head fractures, open and arthroscopic reconstruction of rotator cuff injuries with their limitations and possibilities, secondary impingement in athletes due to superior instability, as well as endoprosthetics of the glenohumeral joint.
