Arthroscopic Labral Repair Using Knotless Suture Anchors in the Setting of a 270° Labral Tear of the Shoulder.

ABSTRACT: Extensive glenoid labral tears, whether the result of repetitive instability or first-time dislocation, compromise the mechanical stability of the glenohumeral joint due to disruption of the anterior, inferior, posterior, and/or superior portions of the labrum. These lesions often result in recurrent multiplanar instability and pain that is nonresponsive to conservative management and difficult to diagnose due to variability in clinical presentation and advanced imaging findings. Arthroscopic repair techniques to address symptomatic shoulder instability have showed positive patient-reported outcomes, low failure rates, and high return-to-sport rates. The evolution of knotless suture anchors offers a fixation method that has proven to be functionally equivalent to knotted suture anchors whi
