Summary of Common Procedures Depicting the Versatility of Knotless Tensionable Anchors

Procedure
• Hip/shoulder labral treatment ○ Bone/labral function: ▪ Eversion: Anchor placed on acetabular rim. Repair sutured is passed through labral defect into chondrolabral junction. ▪ Inversion: Anchor on acetabular rim. Looped end of shuttling suture is passed through labral defect into chondrolabral junction. ○ Chondrolabral junction: ▪ Eversion: Anchor is placed in chondrolabral junction, Looped end of shuttling suture is passed through labral defect to the bone/labral junction. ▪ Inversion: Anchor is placed in chondrolabral junction. Repair suture is passed through defect to the bone/labral junction.
• Tendon repair ○ Suture staple: ▪ Insert anchors in previously prepared tendons insertion site. Pass repair sutures through adjacent anchors in an interlocking configuration (A-B, B-A.) or (A-B, B-C, C-D, D-A).
• Miscellaneous ○ Labral reconstruction: ▪ Prepare acetabular rim and place anchors throughout its circumference. Secure graft in an eversion construct. ○ Labral augmentation: ▪ Place anchors on acetabular rim above deficient labrum. Pass repair suture is passed behind the graft and through the native chondrolabral junction. ○ Capsular reconstruction: ▪ Two anchors are placed at the corner of the acetabular-side capsular defect. Graft is secured to the anchors and stitched to the remaining femoral capsular tissue. ○ Capsular augmentation ▪ Two anchors are placed on the subspine cortical bone to secure the graft above the capsular tissue. Distal dermal graft is stitched to the capsule. ○ Femoral remplissage ▪ Locate defect. Place anchor on the center of defect. Pass sutures through dermal graft in a mattress configuration. Add 4 anchors to secure the corners of the graft.
