Technical Pearls and Pitfalls of SCR Using an Achilles Tendon–Bone allograft

  • •

    If the biceps tendon is still present in the joint, it needs to be removed from the superior glenoid.

  • •

    Check to ensure that it is 10 mm through the graft sizing block.

  • •

    Obtain at least an 8-mm-thick graft.

  • •

    Do not insert the tunneling guide pin too laterally. If the guide pin inserted too laterally, fracture may occur.

  • •

    Postoperatively, the patient is placed in a sling with an abduction brace for at least 8 weeks.
