  • Title: Minimally invasive transrotator cuff approach for arthroscopic stabilization of the posterosuperior glenoid labrum.
    Author: Crockett HC, Wright JM, Slawski DP, Kohtz B, Rosse D, Rosse S.
    Journal: Arthroscopy; 2004 Jul; 20 Suppl 2():94-9. PubMed ID: 15243437.
    Abstract:
    We describe a novel technique for repair of the superior glenoid labrum posterior to the biceps anchor. This approach optimizes access for fixation of the superior and posterosuperior labrum, but involves significantly less trauma to the rotator cuff and subacromial space compared with previously described transrotator cuff methods. We suspect that the relative lack of trauma to the rotator cuff and subacromial space accounts for the superior clinical scores and lower incidence of postoperative impingement symptoms with this technique compared with previously reported transrotator cuff methods.
