Utilize a low-profile TightRope device to minimize the risk of suture irritation from knot stacks.The tendon graft should be ≥24 cm in length. If the graft is too short, perform an end-to-end anastomosis of 2 grafts.Utilize an image intensifier to ensure correct drill hole placement and avoid damage to neurovascular structures.The graft passage around the clavicle and the coracoid can be dilated by hand with the use of differently sized drill bits.Incorporate the graft into fascial closure at the end of the procedure.
