Overlap endoscopic SLAP lesion repair.
The fixation of the superior labrum using the punch-chop needle overlap technique (Aeratec Inc, Uniondale, NY) for reattaching torn labral tissue to bone allows ease of suture placement for type II SLAP lesion repair with fixation overlapping the superior rim of the glenoid and without the use of anchors. The technique presented includes preparation of the superior glenoid rim, drilling of the glenoid tunnels for the punch needles, and peripheral suturing of the labrum.
