Transglenoid Fixation Technique for Arthroscopic Subscapularis Augmentation Using an Adjustable-Length Loop Cortical Suspensory Fixation Device.

The optimal surgical management of anterior shoulder instability remains controversial. Although it has low recurrence rates and good clinical results, the Latarjet procedure has some disadvantages and is considered "overtreatment" in inactive patients with moderate glenoid bone loss. Several studies have described an arthroscopic technique called arthroscopic subscapularis augmentation. We developed a technical variation of the arthroscopic subscapularis augmentation technique involving tenodesis of the upper third of the subscapularis tendon using a graft. This technique uses a transglenoid fixation-immobilization with 2 knotless TightRope devices instead of anchors.
