Abstract
Fixation methods for SLAP lesions are still controversial, and the strength of the fixation, suture and knot irritation, and placement and number of anchors are still being discussed. This uncertainty is directly related to the function and anatomy of the superior labrum and attached biceps. Knotless fixation methods close to the biceps anchorage at the 12-o'clock position are favored in recent literature. We describe a practical SLAP repair technique, with a mattress configuration through the biceps anchorage, using a single knotless anchor. Fixing the biceps attachment instead of the labrum alone, in proximity to the biceps, without sutures or knots left in contact with the other intra-articular structures is the superiority of the described technique.
