It is known that Hippocrates had developed a "surgical" technique to stabilise the commonly presented anterior dislocation of the shoulder. In the modern medical era we have developed and abandoned many procedures. Which of them do you think imitates the original Hippocratic technique?
Thermal capsulorrhaphy would be the closest to Hippocrates technique but the results are consistently poor with this technique!
If this proves to be a duplicate from me, I do not see that my earlier response was received. I agree that the only recent procedure that is similar to tthat of Hippocrates is thermal capsulorraphy. It however should never be done
Thermal capsuloraphy is usually performed arthroscopically now days. In my humble opinion the ancient technique cannot be compared totally with this.
