1.8 Knotless FibreTak Shoulder Stabilisation

Description

This video transcript details a detailed surgical procedure for arthroscopic anterior stabilization using a 1.8 knotless fiber tack suture method. The operation begins with the patient positioned laterally, followed by a diagnostic arthroscopy where a tear in the anterior labrum and a Hill Sachs lesion are identified on the humeral head. A portal is created in the rotator interval to mobilize the labrum, allowing for visualization of the subscapularis. The surgeon prepares the glenoid surface using a shaver to create a bleeding surface and positions a knotless fiber tack anchor in the 5 o'clock position on the glenoid face. The procedural steps include drilling, anchor insertion, and securing the labrum with suture techniques involving a scorpion device to create tension and ensure proper positioning of the labrum. The process for placing additional anchors in a similar manner is also described, ensuring a secure fixation. Finally, the transcript concludes with a final inspection, demonstrating that the capsular redundancy has been addressed and the labrum is appropriately reduced to the glenoid surface.
