Pearls and Pitfalls

Pearls	Pitfalls
Place working portal slightly medial in rotator interval for optimal trajectory to pierce tendon with suture passing device (Champion Slingshot)	Far lateral placement of working portal in the rotator interval Inadequate distance between working portal and percutaneous anchor
Percutaneous incision lateral to the anterior portal to reach apex of bicipital groove for appropriate tenodesis site	Soft-tissue bridge formation during threading of knot pusher
Adequate spread between working portal and percutaneous anchor for knot pusher to reliably deliver suture limb to suture passing device	Repeated passes through tendon with suture passing device can damage integrity of tendon
