Abstract

Patients presenting with recurrent shoulder instability and bipolar glenohumeral bone loss are at risk of failed standard soft-tissue repair techniques. Even isolated bony-stabilization procedures such as the Latarjet or remplissage technique may not provide sufficient stability in the face of combined bone loss. We use a combined all-arthroscopic remplissage, Latarjet, and Bankart repair for patients with significant combined glenohumeral bone loss and/or in the revision setting. This allows reconstruction of both the Hill-Sachs and glenoid bone defects and repair of the capsulolabral complex in a minimally invasive manner. Furthermore, the use of cortical-button fixation of the coracoid bone graft may reduce the risk of hardware-related complications while still achieving excellent bone union.
