Knotless Anchor Technology for Instability Repair

Good morning. My name is Jim Bradley. I'm the head team physician for the Pittsburgh Steelers. And I'm here to talk about Nautilus fixation in instability in athletes. My transition has been almost complete. It saves me time. It's about ten minutes less a case per for me. But there are actually studies out there right now with the SOS systems. That said, some people are actually 20 minutes better per case. Using Nautilus over nodded. The ease of insertion, the size of the anchor is good for this specific area of the glenoid. And I think with these new materials coming out, such as the new SutureTape, I mean, we're going to have even more options to fix unstable shoulders. Some of the other progressive improvements were this LabralTape that I thought was much better than suture. It was 39% stronger than FiberWire. It had a 37% better labral pull out strength. I transitioned them right into my practice, primarily to relieve the knot bulk that impinge on the rotator cuff, especially in my throwers. So in abduction and external rotation, as you get in that position, the undersurface of the cuff would hit the bottom of the the knot, and there would be some abrasions of the rotator cuff as well as there was would be if they unraveled. There would be this squeaking that sounded like the Tin Man, which you knew you had an unraveled anchor, and you'd have to take the you'd have to really have another operation to get the knot bulk out and the suture. I found that the, the new suture options, which could now be a simple suture, a cinch suture, a mattress suture. So now I have three suture types that I can use based on the pathology that I see.
