Tips and Tricks for a Successful Procedure

  • a.

    Avoid splintering of the coracoid during osteotomy. Prepare the coracoid undersurface to have minimum curvature so that the contact with prepared glenoid is good.

  • b.

    Use different-colored passing sutures in superior and inferior holes of the glenoid to avoid twisting and entanglement of the sutures.

  • c.

    Visualize the coracoid while tensioning the FiberTape cerclage from the posterior portal, to avoid a cut-through of the coracoid.

  • d.

    Do not overtension the FiberTape (max 80 N). It can cut-through the coracoid graft.

  • e.

    Keep the arm in neutral rotation during the procedure to avoid subscapularis tension.
