Arthroscopy Techniques (May 2018)
Use of a Knotless Suture Anchor to Perform Double-Pulley Capsulotenodesis of Infraspinatus
Abstract
In this Technical Note, we describe an arthroscopic remplissage procedure to treat anterior instability. Specifically, we use a technique to perform double-pulley capsulotenodesis of the infraspinatus tendon using a Knotless SutureTak Suture Anchor (Arthrex, Naples, FL). This is a modification of a previously described double-pulley technique. The primary advantage of our technique compared with the previous double-pulley techniques described is that knot tying is not required.
