Batter's Shoulder: All-Knotless Posterior Labral Repair With Retensionable Anchors for Treatment of Batter's Shoulder.

ABSTRACT

Batter's Shoulder is a unique injury that may be associated with recurrent microtrauma followed by acute subluxation of the humeral head on the posterior glenoid edge, leading to posterior labral tears. Early identification of this injury is critical, as it may be treated with conservative nonsurgical treatments prior to labral tear onset. If conservative treatment fails and pain persists, surgical options include arthroscopic fixation to reapproximate the posterior labrum to the glenoid and restore capsular tension. Previous studies have shown the benefit of using knotless suture anchors in arthroscopic shoulder fixation. This technical note demonstrates that Batter's Shoulder is a unique injury associated with posterior labral tears of the shoulder and provides a contemporary method of arthroscopic fixation of a posterior labral tear using retensionable knotless all-suture anchors.
