Superior labral anterior-posterior (SLAP) lesion repair using the needle-catch technique and a bioabsorbable knotless suture anchor

Arthroscopic superior labrum repair, using a bioabsorbable knotless suture anchor, is a procedure that minimizes the need for complex suture management and arthroscopic knot tying. It is easily reproducible and appears to allow for a safe and stable repair. Given the simplicity and efficacy of the “needle-catch technique”, it is likely that this procedure will prove extendable to other types of arthroscopic surgery.
