Our next #TipsforTuesday is from Dr. Zhang, who shares his technique for Arthroscopic SLAP Repair with Percutaneous Suture Passage Through the Neviaser Portal.
“After placement of an all-suture anchor on the glenoid in the posterior aspect of the biceps anchor, a spinal needle is used to pass a PDS suture through the base of the SLAP tear percutaneously through the soft spot of the Neviaser portal. The tip of the spinal needle should be visualized intra-articularly first before passing it behind the labrum as this will help with suture retrieval. The PDS suture is then passed through the spinal needle and used to shuttle the suture of the labral repair anchor out from the Neviaser portal. The sutures are then retrieved and tied through the anterior portal making sure to not strangulate the biceps tendon. These steps are then repeated with an anchor anterior to the biceps anchor to complete the SLAP repair.”
