A Single-Portal Arthroscopic Technique for Type II Slap Lesions in the Beach Chair Position.

ABSTRACT: The options for surgical treatment of an anterior labrum lesion have become extensive. Arthroscopic treatments are widely used as an improved minimally invasive option with a quick recovery. Arthroscopic treatment of the anterior glenoid labrum generally requires the creation of two working portals. However, arthroscopic treatment through a single anterior portal is still successful. Our single-portal technique avoids interference between instruments inserted through the two working portals and minimizes postoperative scarring, pain, and reduction in range of motion. The purpose of this article was to describe our single-portal arthroscopy technique to repair the anterior glenoid labrum.
