Description
Summary:Numerous techniques exist for arthroscopic subscapularis repair with varying degrees of complexity based on tear morphology, all of which have established satisfactory outcomes in function and patient satisfaction. Arthroscopic subscapularis repair can require several working portals and suture anchors, increasing both technical complexity and operative time. This Technical Note describes an arthroscopic repair of a superior one-third subscapularis tear using a self-punching knotless soft suture anchor through a single anterior working portal. Thus, we offer a unique approach to arthroscopic repair of superior one-third subscapularis tears that is time-saving, reproducible, and highly efficient while minimizing iatrogenic damage and postoperative complications.
