Computed tomography scans can help to identify best trajectory for button fixation and ensure that the fracture is large enough to take the button
•
Keep pump pressure low to prevent fluid extravasation
•
Keep the posterior portal medial and superior against the acromion to optimize angle for fracture fixation—this keeps the drill guide parallel to the glenoid and perpendicular to the fracture
•
Preplan where to put Bankart anchors. Place these before removing the cannulated drill to protect suture buttons
•
Minimize debridement of the capsulolabral complex, as the injury with glenoid fracture/dislocation tends to occur through bone
•
Reduce fracture fragment using hook guide and Bankart elevators before drilling tunnel
