Subscapularis repair with retro anchor . New technique

Описание: Retroanchor for Subscapularis Repair — Technique by Dr. Prathmesh Jain
The technique involves creating a retrograde transosseous tunnel at the lesser tuberosity using a posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) femoral guide and then placing an all-suture Retroanchor (OsteoKnot Retro) through this tunnel to fix the torn subscapularis tendon securely. �

The all-suture Retroanchor used is the OC OsteoKnot Retro All-Suture Anchor (Osteocare Medical, Ahmedabad) — a 2.3 mm double-loaded anchor suitable for challenging shoulder footprint areas. �
