Published: April 2017

The placement of a resorbable suture on one edge of a wound can effectively retard the mucosal closure of the defect and thereby duplicate the function of a passive surgical drain. The placement of a double or triple loop of a resorbable suture such as chromic gut on one side of the wound edge can provide an inexpensive and self-eliminating wound drain.

Successful subscapularis repair in stemless shoulder arthroplasty is crucial to reduce complications and improve postoperative function. As stemless shoulder arthroplasty continues to grow in popularity, several subscapularis tendon repair techniques are being developed, with a current trend toward knotless devices and double-row anchor-based constructs. In this article, we present our technique for repair of a subscapularis tendon peel using a suture-capture construct that aids in compression of the tendon onto its footprint and then gradually releases the tension as the capture resorbs and tendon healing occurs.
