Abstract The all-suture anchor is a specialized orthopedic device designed for treating labral tears in the shoulder. This device uses suture loops instead of a rigid body, offering benefits such as reduced bone removal, smaller size, biocompatibility, improved healing, and fewer imaging artifacts. Although complications associated with the use of all-suture anchors for shoulder labral repair are seldom reported, we present two cases where the stitch from an all-suture anchor cut through the glenoid bone during the repair of an anterior labroligamentous periosteal sleeve avulsion lesion in two patients. This unique incident highlights potential complications related to the design of implants and the severity of shoulder instability. This case report aims to increase the awareness of such complications and to promote further biomechanical research in this field.
