Popis: OBJECTIVE: To test the feasibility and safety of an arthroscopic imbrication of the medial glenohumeral ligament (MGHL) and the subscapularis tendon with knotless anchors in dogs. STUDY DESIGN: Cadaveric study. SAMPLE POPULATION: Ten limbs. METHODS: Cranial and caudal arms of the MGHL were imbricated with a 2.9- or a 2.4-mm knotless anchor. A horizontal mattress suture secured with a 3.5-mm knotless anchor was used to imbricate the subscapularis tendon. Computed tomography measurements included (1) the bone stock around the anchors, (2) the angle between the anchor and the joint surface (insertion angle), and (3) the angle formed by lines tangent to the cortices of the bones (safety angle). Limbs were dissected to assess the position of anchors. Safety and insertion angles and bone stock were compared among anchors with a Kruskal-Wallis test (P
