Posterior glenohumeral capsular rupture is a rare cause of posterior glenohumeral instability. With advances in imaging and arthroscopic techniques, diagnosis and treatment of posterior glenohumeral instability are becoming more common in practice. We present a technique for arthroscopic repair of a posterior glenohumeral capsular rupture with concomitant anterior and posterior labrum detachment. Arthroscopic fixation was facilitated by use of a 70° arthroscope through an anterior viewing portal to allow accurate placement of the posterior portal in preparation for knot tying. This arthroscopic technique resulted in a successful outcome.
