2021 Annual Meeting Shoulder Access Pass-Case Panel: My Worst Complications-Ticker

Case Panel: My Worst Complications-Ticker

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The discussion focuses on subscapularis tendon repair, emphasizing that a subluxed biceps often indicates subscapularis pathology. Key points include assessing bone quality for anchor placement, using traction stitches for tendon control especially in full-thickness tears, and maintaining the comma tissue for optimal outcomes. Visualization techniques like arm flexion aid in identifying the lesser tuberosity. A consensus favors single-row repairs for full-thickness subscapularis tears. Early repair of even small tears improves stability and recovery, reducing rotator cuff failure rates. Knotless anchors and single tapes offer easier options for those less comfortable with anterior shoulder work.
