I need capsular plication surgery for loose shoulders. is the rf probe technique preferable to a tuck and fold procedure? i want good results!

Depends: It depends on the nature of things. The rf is good because it facilitates scaring however, its long-term results are not as well known. Chat with your shoulder surgeon- they have the best information.

No Heat: Capsule tightening with sutures or anchors is safe and can be titrated to how much laxity is present and the major directions of instability. Rf shrinkage is technically easier and faster, but has been implicated as a potential cause of delayed damage to capsule tissue and joint cartilage.
