Arthroscopic Suture Retrieval: A Simple Technique That Disentangles Sutures During Retrieval

Abstract Efficient and successful arthroscopic surgery relies on methodical and well‐organized suture management. However, it is relatively common, especially in complex arthroscopic procedures, that sutures invariability become entangled or twisted as a result of repeated suture shuttling from portal to portal and between individual suture limbs. When this occurs, this can make antegrade suture passage or arthroscopic knot tying challenging. We describe a simple and efficient technique that allows simultaneous retrieval of 2 suture limbs while ensuring that the sutures are disentangled.
