Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|
• All-suture suture anchors provide least intrusion on growth plates and multiple fixation points. • The lateral decubitus position provides excellent exposure to the posterior and inferior quadrants of the shoulder. • Arthroscopic in situ biceps tenodesis ensures anatomic tenodesis and cosmesis. |
• Technically challenging with numerous steps. • Difficult visualization and suture management given the extent of the tear pattern. • Biceps technique requires second step of returning to the glenohumeral joint to remove biceps remnant. |
