Soft Arthroscopic Latarjet Procedure: Technical Note on Biceps Tendon as a Modified Sling for Restoration of Glenohumeral Stability.

ABSTRACT: As an alternate to sling glenohumeral restabilization mechanism of Latarjet procedure, recent different arthroscopic soft-tissue reconstructive techniques have been described for the management of glenohumeral instability. One of these techniques is trans-subscapularis bony tenodesis of long head of biceps (instead of coracoid graft transfer) to the anteroinferior glenoid. For simplification of the latter technique, the current article reports an alternative arthroscopic technique for management of glenohumeral instability in patients with type V SLAP lesion or poor soft-tissue quality of the anterior capsulolabral complex. In this technique, Bankart repair is followed by soft-tissue tenodesis of long head of biceps to upper border of subscapularis tendon by 2 simple stitches of non-absorb
