How long might a capsular plication be effective with HSD or hEDS?
Hello. I (18F) have generalized joint hypermobility and ligament laxity (orthopedic surgeon said I may have hEDS).

He said this could happen in as little as a year after getting the procedure done but that it's also possible my
For anyone similarly born with hypermobility/ligament laxity who had a capsular plication done for MDI in a shoulder, would you please share how recovery went and for how long your shoulder has remained stable since?
Thank you so much. 🙂
