It is the viewer’s responsibility to determine the educational value of this historical content.Arthroscopic reattachment of the superior glenoid labrum is the primary treatment for Type II SLAP (Superior labrum anterior posterior) lesions and is also utilized in Types III through X to various degrees. Once the suture anchors are inserted in the glenoid rim, SLAP repair requires successful passing of the sutures through the labrum. Drs. Nord, Masterson, and Mr. Mauck demonstrate how they use a penetrating suture through a Neviaser portal. They explain that using the Neviaser portal for SLAP repair is a safe and easy technique for SLAP repair, because it allows easy passage of suture through the labrum with less trauma to the labrum.
