Arthroscopic Subscapularis Retensioning Repair Using a Knotless‐Type Anchor Shared With Supraspinatus Repair

Various arthroscopic subscapularis repair techniques using knotless-type anchors have been reported; however, some limitations remain, including potential damage to the original footprint during anchor insertion and interference with the anteromedial anchor for the supraspinatus. This Technical Note describes an arthroscopic repair of subscapularis tears with concomitant full-thickness supraspinatus tears using a single knotless anchor. Using this technique, the original subscapularis tendon footprint is preserved, and both the subscapularis and the anterior portion of the supraspinatus can be addressed with a single anchor, potentially providing an anatomic, simple, fast, and cost-effective solution.

Abstract

Various arthroscopic subscapularis repair techniques using knotless-type anchors have been reported; however, some limitations remain, including potential damage to the original footprint during anchor insertion and interference with the anteromedial anchor for the supraspinatus. This Technical Note describes an arthroscopic repair of subscapularis tears with concomitant full-thickness supraspinatus tears using a single knotless anchor. Using this technique, the original subscapularis tendon footprint is preserved, and both the subscapularis and the anterior portion of the supraspinatus can be addressed with a single anchor, potentially providing an anatomic, simple, fast, and cost-effective solution.
