capsulorraphy
Explanation:

capsulorraphy -
surgical repair of a tear in the capsule of a joint.
http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/capsulorraph...

e.g.:
Isolated atraumatic posterior glenohumeral instability is considered rare. Utilization of thermal capsulorraphy for glenohumeral instability is considered controversial.
http://journals.humankinetics.com/jsr-in-press/jsr-in-press/...

This study assessed outcomes after open anterior repairs without routine capsulorraphy by a community surgeon. Repairs were performed in 64 consecutive shoulders; patient self-assessment questionnaires were mailed to all patients after a minimum follow-up of 2 years.

reinforcement of the capsule


Explanation:
"IThese are: 1) increase or restore the glenoid contact surface area; 2) the conjoint tendon stabilises the joint when the arm is abducted and externally rotated, by reinforcing the inferior subscapularis and anteroinferior capsule; 3) repair of the capsule. This triple effect is why the Latarjet is such a successful procedure."
http://www.shoulderdoc.co.uk/article.asp?article=912

"In addition, the coracobrachialis serves as a dynamic reinforcement of the inferior part of the capsule after the transfer."
