Procedure

Bone block cerclage is an innovative arthroscopic surgical technique that preserves the integrity of the subscapularis and provides a metal-free fixation of the bone graft.1 Two interconnected FiberTape® and TigerTape™ cerclage sutures provide firm compression of the graft and strong fixation that minimizes construct displacement at high loads.2
The FiberTape Cerclage for Glenoid Bone Loss Implant System contains all the necessary implants and disposables for the procedure (except capsulolabral repair anchors). To help provide a reproducible surgical technique, the kit includes an arthroscopic measuring probe, two 3-mm cannulated drills of different lengths to facilitate unobstructed drilling, and the MegaLoader suture-passing loop to aid in the passage of sutures into instruments and bone grafts.
