The injury commonly occurs in the batter\u2019s lead shoulder due to repetitive microtrauma, raising concern for switch-hitters due to the cumulative stress of throwing and swinging on the lead shoulder. Instability is commonly caused by a posterior humeral force and relative shoulder adduction, which is most prevalent during a swing attempt at a low and outside pitch.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Indications:<\/jats:title>\n Damage to the labrum during the acute traumatic event can cause residual pain and recurrent instability of the shoulder. Indications include failed conservative management. The patient demonstrated a full-thickness longitudinal tear that was grossly unstable with gentle probing.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Technique Description:<\/jats:title>\n After establishing presence of an unstable posterior labral tear during diagnostic arthroscopy, a 7-o\u2019clock portal is established for the labral repair. A knotless suture anchor construct was utilized for its low-profile features. Care is taken to avoid both tangling of sutures and overtensioning of the repair.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n Patients return to live batting practice at 6 months postoperatively and most patients return to the same level of play following surgical management.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Discussion\/Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Avoid overtightening of labral repair and subsequent loss of range of motion. Use of a low-profile knotless suture anchor is the senior author\u2019s preferred method of surgical management. A majority of patients surgically managed for unstable posterior labral injuries return to the same level of play.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/26350254211021848","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,14]],"date-time":"2021-09-14T07:00:06Z","timestamp":1631602806000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Arthroscopic Repair of Batter\u2019s Shoulder"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"1","author":[{"given":"Austin G.","family":"Cross","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, Michigan, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brian H.","family":"Goldman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Larkin Community Hospital, South Miami, Florida, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eric C.","family":"Makhni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, Michigan, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-26350254211021848","unstructured":"Ahmad C.
