Abstract
Sliding knots are an essential element of arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The authors have been using a previously undescribed arthroscopic sliding knot with good clinical success. This knot has been used in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, arthroscopic shoulder stabilization, and arthroscopic SLAP repair. The technique of this knot is illustrated.
