Pearls and Pitfalls of Technique

Pearls

Preparation of the glenoid and greater tuberosity footprint should be performed before graft introduction.

Medial and lateral accessory portals should be used for optimal positioning of the anchors.

Graft tensioning from the lateral portal must be maintained during fixation on the greater tuberosity.

Pitfalls

Anchor placement on the HH can affect tensioning (more distance, more tension).

The graft length should be carefully estimated because it can affect tension of the construct.

The arthroscopic view may be compromised by the size of the graft (too thick).
