3 Fig 2 Anterior portal dilated with blunt trocar. The subscapularis tendon is marked with a circle. Arthroscopy Techniques 2018 7, e327-e330DOI: ( /j.eats ) Copyright © 2017 Arthroscopy Association of North America Terms and Conditions

4 Fig 3 Dilator placed over top of biceps tendon (X). The attachment to the anterior superior labrum is indicated. Arthroscopy Techniques 2018 7, e327-e330DOI: ( /j.eats ) Copyright © 2017 Arthroscopy Association of North America Terms and Conditions

5 Fig 4 The biceps tendon (X) is pulled downward. The subscapularis tendon is marked with a circle. This is our best view of an intact superior glenohumeral ligament (dot). The ramp test finding is negative with normal structures. Arthroscopy Techniques 2018 7, e327-e330DOI: ( /j.eats ) Copyright © 2017 Arthroscopy Association of North America Terms and Conditions
