ChenAbstractPan-labral tears are relatively uncommon, but they present significant challenges to arthroscopists. The difficulty lies in the need to access the glenoid rim circumferentially for proper anchor placement. Traditionally, this requires that multiple portals and percutaneous access be established as needed. Additionally, proper preoperative planning is needed to accurately reduce the labrum. In this Technical Note, we demonstrate a technique that accomplishes circumferential access and a well-planned approach with 2 portals and a percutaneous cannula.
