AANA/ISAKOS Knee and Shoulder Arthroscopy Course-Online Didactics (April 2024)-REPARACION LABRAL POSTERIOR

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video demonstrates posterior labral repair with the patient in lateral decubitus position under traction. Using an anterior viewing portal and a posterior portal, the surgeon identifies and detaches the posterior labrum with a neurotome for preparation. Non-metallic 2.3 mm anchors are placed through the posterior portal. Sutures are transported using a micro SD loop connected to a PDS suture. The repair is secured with sliding knots, reinforced by half knots and half loops. Depending on lesion size, two to three anchors are used; in this case, three anchors completed the repair.
