Single incision latissimus dorsi surgical technique: a three button repair.

ABSTRACT: Due to the infrequent occurrence of latissimus dorsi insertional avulsions or tendon ruptures, there is no clear evidence on the optimal surgical fixation strategy. A three suture unicortical button repair technique through a single incision offers an anatomic reconstruction of the broad insertional footprint with adequate exposure. This fixation strategy is the preferred technique by the senior author.
