Arthroscopic 360° Shoulder Labral Reconstruction: A Stepwise Approach.

Abstract

Combined lesions of the glenoid labrum are a relatively common finding in shoulder instability patients. Even so, relatively few studies have been published evaluating outcomes after repair of these complex labral detachments. To achieve a successful outcome, accurate identification of all pathologic lesions in the shoulder combined with an organized, stepwise approach to sometimes circumferential labral fixation is required. Repair of 360° labral tears can be effectively and efficiently achieved by implementing the reproducible steps and sequence described to reconstruct these circumferential labral tears.
