Pearls and Pitfalls
| Pearls |
| Directly available bursal tissue |
| Technique easily performed through arthroscopic portals already installed for tendon reconstruction |
| No special devices needed |
| Pitfalls |

| Visualization problems because of bleeding of highly vascularized bursal tissue |
| Monofilament PDS suture knots must be properly placed to be secure |
