Principles and Applied Anatomy for Arthroscopic Anterior and Posterior Instability Surgery of the Shoulder Edward Tillett, M.D. Department of Orthopedic Surgery University of Louisville
Anterior and Posterior Instability of the Shoulder • The loss of capsulolabral support on the anterior or posterior glenoid
Principles of Arthroscopic Anterior and Posterior Instability Repairs • Appropriate Portal Placement • Mobilize Capsule and Labrum • Prepare Bone for Healing Response • Appropriate Suture Anchor Placement • Suture Passage through Capsule and Labrum • Secure Knot Tying • Appropriate Fixation of Capsule and Labrum
Appropriate Portal Placement • Must allow access to the inferior aspect of the anterior and posterior glenoid for capsule and labrum mobilization and suture anchor placement
Anterior Inferior Portal • Capsulolabral release • Bone preparation • For low anterior suture anchor placement (5 o’clock position) *This portal is just superior to the subscapularis tendon and should be angled enough for suture anchor placement
Posterior Inferior Portal • Capsulolabral Release • Bone Preparation • For Low Posterior Suture Anchor Placement (7 o’clock position) *This usually is the standard posterior portal which is 2cm inferior and medial to the posterolateral border of the acromium
Posterior Inferior Portal • 2 MRI**********
Mobilize Anterior Capsule and Labrum • Frequently, the capsule and labrum heals in a medially displaced position on the glenoid • Therefore, it should be released to the 6 o’clock position to allow it to be advanced to the normal anatomic position
Axillary Nerve Anatomy • The axillary nerve may be at risk when manipulating tissue at the inferior aspect of the glenoid rim. • Where is it? • “Determining the Relationship of the Axillary Nerve to the Shoulder Joint Capsule from an Arthroscopic Perspective” • By: M.R. Price, MD, MS, Edward D. Tillett, MD, Robert D. Acland, MD, and G. Stephen Nettleton, PhD Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, October, 2004
Axillary Nerve Anatomy • The axillary nerve is closest to the glenoid rim at the 6 o’clock position • It lays about 12mm from the inferior glenoid rim and is adjacent to the capsule
Prepare Bone for a Healing Response • Bone Should be decorticated on the medial scapular neck just off the glenoid rim
Appropriate Suture Anchor Placement • Suture Anchors should be placed up onto the glenoid rim • The most inferior suture anchors for anterior and posterior instability should be placed at the 5 or 7 o’clock position
Suture Passage: Capsule and Labrum • Suture is passed through Capsule and Labrum • Will allow an adequate shift of tissue to a normal anatomic position on the glenoid rim • The suture through the capsule and labrum should be placed inferior to the level of the suture anchor • Suture shuttle using an accessory portal is easiest
Anterior Superior Portal • This portal is at the superior aspect of the rotator interval between the subscapularis and biceps tendons • Used for the suture shuttle
Posterior Superior Portal • This portal is about 2cm distal and anterior to the posterolateral border of the acromium
Posterior Superior Portal • 2 Arthro Pix******
Secure Knot Tying • Learn how to tie sliding knot and half-hitch knots
Fixation of Capsule and Labrum *The labrum and capsule are shifted and fixed up on the glenoid rim.
