Show More
In this video, we demonstrate knotless shoulder labral repair using the Arthrex PushLock® anchor system, a modern arthroscopic technique for treating labral tears and restoring shoulder stability.
The labrum is a ring of cartilage that surrounds the socket (glenoid) and plays a critical role in stabilizing the shoulder joint. When torn, it can lead to pain, weakness, and recurrent instability. This typically occurs due to dislocation or trauma.
This arthroscopic labral repair approach uses minimally invasive techniques to restore the anatomy of the joint. Through small portals, the surgeon introduces a suture-passing device to shuttle sutures around the torn labrum, preparing it for reattachment to the bone.
A key innovation in this procedure is the knotless PushLock®anchor technique. Instead of tying knots, the sutures are secured directly into a drilled socket in the glenoid using a PushLock® anchor. As the anchor is inserted, it locks the suture in place, firmly reattaching the labrum to the bone.
This knotless anchor shoulder repair offers several advantages:
Eliminates knot tying - faster and more efficient procedure
Reduces variability in tensioning - more consistent results
Minimizes intra-articular bulk - less irritation in the joint
Provides strong fixation for shoulder stabilization surgery
Multiple anchors are typically placed along the tear to fully restore the labrum and joint stability.
This technique is commonly used for Bankart repair and other instability procedures, especially in athletes requiring reliable and reproducible outcomes.
After surgery, patients follow a structured rehabilitation program to regain motion, strength, and function, often returning to sport after recovery.

Show More
This video demonstrates rotator cuff repair using the advanced Arthrex SpeedBridge™ system, a modern double row rotator cuff repair technique designed to maximize tendon-to-bone compression and promote strong biological healing.
The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint and allow lifting and rotation of the arm. When a rotator cuff tear occurs, patients may experience pain, weakness, and limited mobility. If left untreated, chronic tears can lead to progressive degeneration and long-term joint damage. Rotator cuff tear surgery restores the tendon to its anatomical footprint on the humerus, helping prevent further deterioration.
The SpeedBridge™ technique uses a knotless, interconnected construct combining SwiveLock® anchors and FiberTape® fixation to create a strong, low-profile repair.
The procedure begins with preparation of the rotator cuff tendon and humeral bone. A bone socket is created using a punch to accept the first SwiveLock® anchor, which comes preloaded with a FiberTape® loop. Once inserted, the FiberTape® is passed through the tendon using a FastPass Scorpion™ suture passer.
This process is repeated for the second medial anchor. The FiberTape® loops are then trimmed and separated into tails. One tail from each medial anchor is retrieved and preloaded into a lateral SwiveLock® anchor. After preparing the lateral bone socket, the anchor is inserted, compressing the tendon down over its anatomical footprint.
If needed, additional fixation can be achieved using FiberLink™ sutures and a fourth anchor to secure any remaining tendon edges. The final construct creates a broad compression bridge across the tendon—hence the name SpeedBridge™.
Key benefits of this double row rotator cuff repair include:
Increased footprint contact area
Strong biomechanical fixation
Knotless, low-profile design
Improved tendon-to-bone healing environment
Minimally invasive arthroscopic approach
The Arthrex SpeedBridge™ system is widely used in arthroscopic shoulder surgery and sports medicine shoulder repair, offering durable fixation for small to large rotator cuff tears.

Orthopedic surgeons and residents
Sports medicine specialists
Medical students studying shoulder procedures
Patients researching advanced shoulder tendon repair options

Show More
Rotator cuff tears are a common source of shoulder pain, weakness, and reduced range of motion. If left untreated, a torn rotator cuff can lead to progressive degeneration and even shoulder arthritis over time. The SpeedFix™ technique is specifically designed to address small tears efficiently while minimizing surgical complexity.
This video demonstrates a knotless rotator cuff repair using the Arthrex SpeedFix™ technique. This technique is an advanced, minimally invasive solution for treating small rotator cuff tear repair cases in modern arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
The procedure begins with arthroscopic visualization of the torn rotator cuff tendon. The surgeon carefully mobilizes the tendon and confirms that it can be repositioned to its original attachment site on the humerus without excessive tension. Proper tension-free repair is critical for optimal healing and long-term outcomes.
Next, the bone surface is prepared using a burr to create a biologically favorable environment for tendon healing. This step enhances the ability of the rotator cuff tendon repair to integrate with the bone.
Using a SCORPION-multifire suture passer, sutures are placed through the rotator cuff tendon from inferior to superior. This specialized instrument allows precise suture placement and repositioning before passing the second suture; thus, improving efficiency during shoulder arthroscopy.
The sutures are retrieved through a cannula, and a single lateral bone socket is created. The sutures are then threaded through a knotless anchor. Once inserted into the bone socket, the anchor is tensioned and secured, compressing the tendon firmly against its anatomical footprint.
Unlike traditional knotted repairs, knotless anchor repair eliminates the need for tying arthroscopic knots, potentially reducing operative time and minimizing bulk at the repair site. The result is a strong, low-profile construct that supports tendon healing.
Advantages of knotless rotator cuff repair with Arthrex SpeedFix™ include:
Simplified surgical technique
Secure tendon fixation
Reduced surgical time
Minimally invasive approach
Strong biomechanical construct

Show More
In this video, we demonstrate total shoulder replacement surgery using the Arthrex Univers™ II system, an advanced solution for treating shoulder arthritis and restoring joint function.
Shoulder arthritis occurs when the cartilage within the joint wears down over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. When conservative treatments fail, shoulder arthroplasty becomes an effective option to relieve pain and restore movement.
🔧 Procedure Overview
The procedure begins with surgical exposure of the shoulder joint. A cutting guide is placed on the humeral head to ensure accurate alignment, and guide wires and pins are inserted to control the angle of bone resection.
The surgeon then removes the damaged portion of the humeral head and prepares the bone using drills and reamers to accommodate the prosthesis. A trial implant is placed to evaluate fit, alignment, and joint mechanics before final implantation.
Attention is then directed to the glenoid (socket), where the surface is prepared by removing damaged cartilage and shaping the bone for implant fixation. Cement is applied, and the glenoid implant is secured into position.
Finally, the humeral component is implanted into the shaft, and the prosthetic head is placed. The surgeon tests the joint for range of motion and stability before completing the procedure.
✅ Key Benefits of Univers™ II Shoulder Replacement
Restores smooth joint motion and stability

Knee Meniscus Repair
Meniscal Repair

Show More
In this video, we demonstrate meniscal repair surgery, a minimally invasive procedure used to treat meniscus tear repair in the knee.
This technique focuses on preserving the meniscus. an essential cartilage structure that cushions the joint and provides stability.
The meniscus is located between the femur (thigh bone) and the tibia (shin bone), acting as a shock absorber and stabilizer for the knee. When a tear occurs due to trauma or sports-related injury, patients may experience pain, swelling, locking, or instability.
During arthroscopic knee surgery, small incisions are used to insert a camera and specialized instruments into the joint. This allows surgeons to visualize the tear and perform precise repair with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue. The goal of knee cartilage repair is to preserve as much of the natural meniscus as possible, as removal can lead to long-term joint degeneration.
In this procedure, a specialized device is used to deliver suture-based implants into the meniscus. These implants act like anchors, securing sutures that bring the torn edges of the cartilage together for healing.
The technique involves placing one implant on each side of the tear. The implants are connected by a suture, and once both are positioned, the surgeon tightens the suture to compress the tear edges together. A knot is formed and secured, effectively closing the defect and stabilizing the meniscus.
This meniscus repair technique offers several important advantages:
Preserves native cartilage and knee biomechanics
Reduces risk of long-term arthritis compared to meniscectomy
Minimally invasive approach with faster recovery potential
Strong fixation using advanced meniscus implant technique
Meniscal repair is commonly performed in sports medicine knee surgery, particularly for athletes who require durable joint stability for return to play. When combined with rehabilitation, this procedure helps restore knee function and protect long-term joint health.
Patients undergoing knee joint stabilization surgery typically follow a structured recovery plan, including limited weight bearing initially, followed by strengthening and range-of-motion exercises.
This video is ideal for orthopedic surgeons, residents, and medical professionals seeking to understand modern arthroscopic meniscal repair techniques and improve outcomes for patients with knee injuries.

Show More
In this video, we demonstrate all-inside ACL reconstruction using the advanced GraftLink® ACL system, a minimally invasive approach designed to restore knee stability following an ACL tear.
This technique uses socket-based fixation rather than full tunnels, reducing bone removal while maintaining strong graft fixation.
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a key stabilizer of the knee, preventing excessive forward movement of the tibia and controlling rotational stability. Injuries to the ACL are common in athletes and active individuals, often requiring surgical intervention to regain full function.
The all-inside ACL reconstruction technique begins with precise placement of drill guides in both the femur and tibia. Instead of drilling full tunnels, the surgeon creates sockets within the bone using a specialized cutting device. These sockets provide secure spaces for graft placement while preserving bone stock.
Once the sockets are prepared, sutures are passed through both the femoral and tibial sites. These sutures act as guides to deliver the prepared graft into position. The GraftLink® ACL system uses a preconfigured graft, often a soft tissue graft, that is passed and secured using suture-button fixation devices.
The graft is first pulled into the femoral socket using a button-based system that anchors the graft on the outside of the femur. It is then tensioned and pulled into the tibial socket, where another button is applied and tightened to secure the construct.
One of the primary benefits of minimally invasive ACL surgery is reduced surgical trauma and preservation of bone, which may contribute to faster recovery and improved outcomes. The socket-based ligament reconstruction approach also allows for precise placement of the graft to better replicate the native anatomy of the ACL.
Key advantages of all-inside ACL reconstruction include:
Bone preservation with socket-based drilling
Strong fixation with adjustable cortical button systems
Reduced postoperative pain and soft tissue disruption
Improved graft positioning and anatomical reconstruction
This technique is widely used in sports medicine knee surgery, offering reliable outcomes for patients seeking to return to high levels of activity.
Following surgery, patients undergo a structured rehabilitation program focused on restoring motion, strength, and stability. Early phases emphasize protection of the graft, followed by progressive strengthening and functional training.
This video is ideal for orthopedic surgeons, residents, and sports medicine specialists interested in modern ACL reconstruction techniques and advancements in arthroscopic knee surgery.

The graft is first pulled into the femoral socket using a button-based system that anchors the graft on the outside of the femur. It is then tensioned and pulled into the tibial socket, where another button is applied and tightened to secure the construct.
One of the primary benefits of minimally invasive ACL surgery is reduced surgical trauma and preservation of bone, which may contribute to faster recovery and improved outcomes. The socket-based ligament reconstruction approach also allows for precise placement of the graft to better replicate the native anatomy of the ACL.
Key advantages of all-inside ACL reconstruction include:
Bone preservation with socket-based drilling
Strong fixation with adjustable cortical button systems
Reduced postoperative pain and soft tissue disruption
Improved graft positioning and anatomical reconstruction
This technique is widely used in sports medicine knee surgery, offering reliable outcomes for patients seeking to return to high levels of activity.
Following surgery, patients undergo a structured rehabilitation program focused on restoring motion, strength, and stability. Early phases emphasize protection of the graft, followed by progressive strengthening and functional training.
This video is ideal for orthopedic surgeons, residents, and sports medicine specialists interested in modern ACL reconstruction techniques and advancements in arthroscopic knee surgery.

ACP is a biologic therapy designed to accelerate the body’s natural healing process by concentrating platelets and growth factors from a patient’s own blood.
This video provides a clear and practical explanation of Autologous Conditioned Plasma (ACP), a cutting-edge form of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) used in regenerative medicine and sports medicine injections.
ACP therapy works by isolating a high concentration of platelets while minimizing red and white blood cells. These platelets contain powerful biologic signals known as growth factor therapy, which stimulate tissue repair, cell regeneration, and inflammation modulation. This makes ACP a popular option for treating musculoskeletal injuries, tendon disorders, ligament injuries, and joint pain.
The process begins with a small blood draw, similar to a routine lab test. The blood is collected using a double syringe system, which is then placed into a centrifuge for blood separation. After spinning for approximately five minutes, the system separates the blood into distinct layers. The yellow plasma layer contains the concentrated platelets and growth factors, while red and white blood cells remain isolated.
Once centrifugation is complete, the inner syringe is gently extracted, transferring only the platelet-rich plasma. This purified ACP solution is then ready for immediate clinical use, making it an efficient point-of-care procedure for physicians.
Because ACP uses the patient’s own blood, it is considered a safe and minimally invasive form of orthopedic biologics. It is commonly used as a non-surgical treatment option for conditions such as:
Tendonitis
Tennis elbow
Rotator cuff injuries
Knee osteoarthritis
Muscle strains
In sports medicine, ACP is frequently used to reduce recovery time and promote faster return to activity. The high concentration of platelets enhances tendon healing therapy and supports tissue remodeling at the cellular level.
This video is ideal for:
Orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine physicians
Physical therapists and athletic trainers
Medical students learning biologic therapies
Patients exploring PRP treatment options
If you’re interested in modern regenerative medicine techniques, this video breaks down the science behind ACP in a simple, visual, and clinically relevant way.

Microfracture Technique for Cartilage Lesion
Microfracture with Arthrex® PowerPick™

Show More
In this video, we demonstrate microfracture knee surgery, a minimally invasive arthroscopic microfracture technique used to treat cartilage defects in the knee.
Using the PowerPick™ system, this procedure helps stimulate the body’s natural healing response to restore damaged joint surfaces.
Cartilage injuries in the knee (or chondral lesions) can result from trauma, sports injuries, or degeneration. Unlike other tissues, cartilage has limited healing capacity, making these injuries especially challenging to treat. Left untreated, they can lead to pain, swelling, and progressive joint damage.
During knee arthroscopy cartilage repair, small portals are created to insert a camera and specialized surgical instruments into the joint. The surgeon first identifies the damaged cartilage and prepares the area by removing diseased tissue and creating a stable rim around the defect.
Once the defect is prepared, the PowerPick™ microfracture device is used to create small, controlled holes in the subchondral bone beneath the cartilage lesion. These holes allow blood and bone marrow elements to enter the defect site.
The released blood forms a clot over the damaged area, initiating the body’s natural healing process. Over time, this clot matures into fibrocartilage, which fills the defect and provides a protective surface for the joint.
Key advantages of microfracture knee surgery include:
Minimally invasive approach with arthroscopy
Utilizes the body’s natural healing mechanisms
No need for graft harvesting or implants
Effective option for small-to-medium cartilage defects
This bone marrow stimulation technique is commonly used in sports medicine knee procedure cases, especially for athletes with focal cartilage damage. While the regenerated tissue differs from native cartilage, it can still significantly improve joint function and reduce pain.
Following surgery, patients typically undergo a structured rehabilitation program that may include restricted weight-bearing and controlled range-of-motion exercises to protect the healing cartilage.
This video is ideal for orthopedic surgeons, residents, and healthcare professionals looking to better understand cartilage restoration techniques and minimally invasive approaches to knee cartilage defect treatment.

Show More
In this educational surgical video, we walk through each step of the Distal Biceps Tendon Repair process using a single incision biceps repair approach.
This video provides a detailed overview of Distal Biceps Repair using the Arthrex Tension Slide Technique, a widely adopted method in modern orthopedic sports medicine surgery. The procedure is designed to restore function after a distal biceps tendon rupture, a common injury seen in active individuals and manual laborers.
The technique combines a biceps button fixation system with an interference screw to achieve a strong and anatomical tendon reattachment at the radial tuberosity.
The procedure begins with a small incision near the elbow, allowing the surgeon to identify and mobilize the torn tendon. Any damaged or degenerative tissue is removed, and the tendon is prepared using a baseball stitch technique. Sutures are then passed through a cortical button, which is delivered through a drilled socket in the radius. This allows the tendon to be docked securely into its natural anatomical footprint using the tension slide technique.
Once the tendon is seated, an interference screw is placed alongside the tendon to enhance fixation strength and stability. This combination creates a highly durable repair construct that supports early range of motion rehabilitation, which is critical for optimal recovery and return to function.
The Arthrex Tension Slide Technique is especially valued for its minimally invasive nature, strong biomechanical fixation, and excellent clinical outcomes. Most patients can expect to regain full elbow flexion and supination strength, with many returning to heavy lifting, sports, and manual work after proper rehabilitation.
This video is ideal for:
Orthopedic surgeons and residents
Sports medicine fellows
Physical therapists and athletic trainers
Medical students learning elbow surgery procedures
Whether you’re learning about elbow tendon surgery, preparing for boards, or educating patients, this breakdown of Distal Biceps Repair offers a clear and practical explanation of one of today’s most effective surgical techniques.
