Arthroscopic Repair of Type II SLAP Tears Using Suture Anchor Technique.


ABSTRACT: Arthroscopic SLAP tear repair has become an increasingly used treatment for patients presenting with symptomatic SLAP tears after failed nonoperative management. Debridement, SLAP repair, and open or arthroscopic biceps tenodesis or tenotomy have been used for the treatment of SLAP tears. Various techniques for repair have been described, and furthermore, there is a high incidence of concomitant pathology of the shoulder. Repair remains an excellent option in isolated SLAP tears amenable to repair, with excellent outcomes in well-indicated patients. We present a method for repairing a SLAP tear using standard suture anchor fixation, anterior and posterior portals, and an accessory portal of Wilmington. Adequate labral repair can be achieved with this technique in patients with no concomitant biceps pathology. This report highlights this technique for SLAP repair in patients with isolated symptomatic SLAP tears that have failed conservative management.
