Table 3.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages

• Decreased surgical time

• Lower risk of iatrogenic injury from portal placement

• No anteroinferior portal needed

○ Decreased risk of injury to axillary and musculocutaneous nerves¹⁰

○ Decreased risk of perforating inferior cortex of the glenoid rim¹¹

• Systematic and sequential approach minimizes steps and portal changes

Disadvantages

• Technically difficult to place anteroinferior anchors in some cases

• May not have optimal angle for drilling into anteroinferior glenoid rim.

• Use of knotless sutures does not allow delayed suture tying, which some authors recommend to avoid overconstraint of the labrum⁸
