The Longitude-Latitude-Loop Used for Complex Bankart Lesion Repair: An All-Arthroscopic Technique.

The most frequent operation for anterior shoulder instability is the arthroscopic Bankart repair, which has a positive outcome and a low rate of complications. A variety of restoration procedures have been reported to reconstruct labral height and reproduce a dynamic concavity-compression reaction. The longitude-latitude loop is a knotless high-strength suture method that simultaneously tightens the joint capsule in the warp and weft direction and resists tearing. The suture method is safe and reproducible. This study aimed to present a longitude-latitude loop suture for joint capsule labral complex repair during Bankart arthroscopy surgery.

The Lark Loop Used for Proximal Biceps Tenodesis: An All-Arthroscopic Technique.

Long head of the biceps tendinopathy is a common shoulder problem that is difficult to diagnose and treat. Biceps tenodesis is an effective surgical approach target for long head of the biceps tendon lesions. This article describes an all-arthroscopic proximal biceps tenodesis technique. This technique uses a high-strength suture to construct a tear-resistant loop; fixation is achieved with a suture anchor at the proximal aspect of the intertubercular groove or the greater tuberosity. This tenodesis fixation is simple, with no neurovascular injury or humeral fracture risk. In addition, our technique is cost-effective, with no need for specialty sutures.
