Popis: SLAP tears have been a controversial topic in shoulder surgery for decades. The indications for repair of SLAP tears, as well as the methods of repair, have undergone a recent evolution. The use of intra-articular knots for SLAP repair has fallen out of favor because of potential abrasive damage to the rotator cuff and glenohumeral articular cartilage due to knot migration and prominence. In response to this potential iatrogenic injury, arthroscopic techniques have undergone an evolution using advanced techniques with low-profile knotless repairs. We describe our preferred low-profile knotless technique for SLAP repair using LabralTape (Arthrex) in a horizontal mattress configuration.
