Chronic deltoid ligament insufficiency results in greater anterior translation and positive arthroscopic drive-through sign
The arthroscopic drive-through sign seems to be a reliable method to detect medial deltoid instability. Combined medial and lateral ligament repair effectively restores anterior translation to intact levels. Medial deltoid repair contributed to 23.2 % of the total anterior translation reduction from the dual-sided instability phase to dual-sided repair phase.
