(A) View from the lateral portal of the right shoulder with patient in lateral decubitus position. The long head biceps tendon (LHBT) graft has been brought intraarticularly. The suture retriever through the anterosuperior portal may facilitate the handling of the LHBT. The LHBT sutures of the distal end of the graft have been retrieved to the posterior portal to further facilitate its handling. (B) We pass a free suture through the anterosuperior portal around the LHBT and then retrieve it through the anterior portal as shown in the figure. This suture helps to keep the tension and the shape of the LHBT graft and facilitate its manipulation and handling during glenoid fixation.
