ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
For an isolated tear of the subscapularis tendon, the presented technique using a subclavian portal provides both a good angle for anchor placement and sufficient space for managing the upper portion of a subscapularis tendon tear. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
The conventional method needs 2 additional portals for traction, debriding the footprint and anchor fixation for repair. The presented technique requires only an anterior portal for suture management and a subclavian portal without cannula for suture anchoring and placement of suture hooks.RESULTS:
The two suture limbs of the anchor can be placed on the subscapularis tendon by the switching technique and these limbs are repaired sequentially.CONCLUSION:
This technique is simple and reproducible and it can be applied to partial tears and minimally retracted subscapularis tears.
