Pearls and Pitfalls
| Pearls | Pitfalls |
|---|---|
| Preparation of glenoid bed is critical for strong graft healing to the glenoid. | Perforation of the subscapularis should always be performed under visualization because of a very high risk of vascular injuries. |
| Use of a switching stick as an elevator from an additional portal creates more space, improves the view, and protects neurovascular structures during the perforation of the subscapularis muscle. | Mobilization of the biceps tendon should be far from the under pectoralis major muscle because it is critical for prophylaxis of postoperative biceps pain. |
| A strong placement of the inferior anchor is critical because it is loaded by maximal force. |
