LabralTape is a smooth, low profile, specialty suture that is made from polyethylene. This product pairs nicely with the 2.9 mm PushLocks and 3.5 mm SwiveLocks to provide a wider footprint on knotless repairs.&nbsp;
The release of 1.5 mm LabralTape complements knotless labral repair and is yet another way that Arthrex is helping&nbsp;surgeons treat patients better. &nbsp;

Shoulder and Elbow - Next Generation in Repair and Reconstruction 2024

James E. Voos, MD, (Cleveland, OH) teaches the principles necessary for shoulder restoration using instability repair at the Naples Fellowship Forum. He shares technical pearls for patient positioning, portal placement and camera positioning. He highlights the use of the PushLock® anchor with LabralTape™ suture, the ShaverDrill™ device and the PushLock® Percutaneous Insertion Kit. Lastly, Dr. Voos shares SOS™ global data registry results that highlight the time savings that can be achieved with knotless techniques.

Posterior Instability Repair

Stephen S. Burkhart, MD, (San Antonio, TX) highlights the benefits of the latest, knotless technology with the Knotless SutureTak® device and PushLock® anchor with LabralTape™ suture for instability repair. Dr. Burkhart also shows how to use the new percutaneous insertion kit to place anchors low on the glenoid.

Knotless Instability Repair Utilizing Knotless SutureTak® and PushLock®

Jim Bradley, MD, (Pittsburgh, PA) shares his latest thoughts and discusses the top ten lessons he has learned over the past eighteen years in treating athletes with posterior instability from high school to professional level. Dr. Bradley shares his thoughts on the etiology of posterior instability, the impact of bony pathology, available treatment options, surgical pearls and published outcomes.

Posterior Instability of the Shoulder in the Athlete

Mark Ferguson, MD (Johannesburg, South Africa), shows some of the unique modes of instability injuries faced by the rugby players he commonly treats. He describes his preference for open Latarjet over Bankart repair for this patient population. Dr. Ferguson commonly starts the procedure arthroscopically to perform the capsulolabral release and repair any other pathology. He commonly finds posterior labral tears which he repairs with a knotless PushLock® and LabralTape™ before moving on to the open Latarjet technique. He also describes his success in using the Wedged Profile Plate to allow for compression of the graft onto the glenoid.

Latarjet for Treatment of Instability in Rugby Players

Paul Brady, MD, (Knoxville, TN) shares highlights from a live surgery and demonstrates the speed, efficiency and security that can be accomplished with short 2.9 mm BioComposite™ PushLock® suture anchors and 1.5 mm LabralTape™. Dr. Brady describes the benefits of knotless fixation while placing nine anchors around the glenoid in only 30 minutes achieving a strong, low profile repair with no possibility of knot impingement on articular cartilage or rotator cuff tissue.

Knotless Pan-Labral Repair Utilizing the PushLock® and LabralTape™

Kyle Anderson, MD, (Detroit, MI) performs a knotless, 360° pan-labral repair and shares his thoughts on the importance of placing both anterior and posterior anchors inferiorly to reestablish the IGHL complex. He highlights use of the Torpedo Shaver for quick and clean labral and glenoid preparation. He discusses the benefits of knotless fixation and describes the post-operative trauma that can be caused by prominent knot stacks that either migrate towards the glenoid surface or impinge on the rotator cuff.

Knotless Instability Repair using the PushLock®, SwiveLock® & LabralTape™

Jim Bradley, MD, (Pittsburgh, PA) discusses the incidence of first time anterior dislocators and the predictors of recurrence based upon their age, activity level, sport, sex, and injury. He describes the pathologic sequence of this injury including bony Bankart lesions, capsular deformation and elongation, Hill Sachs lesions, isolated capsular tear, and HAGL lesions and their effect on recurrent dislocation. He also shares his decision-making algorithm including non-operative management, contraindications, surgical intervention, patient selection criteria, and technique pearls.

First-Time Anterior Dislocators: What to Do and How to Do it

James Bradley, MD, (Pittsburgh, PA) performs an arthroscopic knotless SLAP repair on a 20-year-old overhead athlete with short 2.9 mm BioComposite™&nbsp;PushLocks&nbsp;and LabralTape.&nbsp; The LabralTape is utilized to secure the torn labrum with 37% greater tissue cut-through resistance than suture.&nbsp; Securing the LabralTape with the 2.9 mm PushLock results in a low profile knotless repair with no risks of knot impingement. &nbsp;

Arthroscopic SLAP Repair Utilizing LabralTape™ and 2.9 mm PushLock® Suture Anchors

The PushLock® is designed for simple and secure arthroscopic glenohumeral joint instability repair. The knotless technique saves valuable time and eliminates the possibility of knot impingement. The “Suture First” technique allows the surgeon to independently pass the suture through a desired amount of tissue prior to anchor implantation. Multiple suture configurations, including simple, cinch and mattress stitches, can be accomplished with FiberWire, FiberLink®, FiberStick or new <a href="http://www.arthrex.com/shoulder/labraltape" data-new-window="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">LabralTape</a> suture options using the Labral Scorpion™ or QuickPass SutureLasso™. Tissue tension can be visualized and adjusted, if necessary, prior to final anchor implantation.
