Wu C, Ye Z, Lu S, Fang Z, Xu J, Zhao J. Biomechanical Analysis Reveals Shoulder Instability With Bipolar Bone Loss Is Best Treated With Dynamic Anterior Stabilization for On-Track Lesions and With Remplissage for Off-Track Lesions. Arthroscopy 2024; 40:1982-1993. [PMID: 38311260 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2024.01.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the biomechanical effects of augmenting Bankart repair (BR) with either remplissage or dynamic anterior stabilization (DAS) in the treatment of anterior shoulder instability with on-track or off-track bipolar bone loss. METHODS Eight fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders were tested at 60° of glenohumeral abduction in the intact, injury, and repair conditions. Injury conditions included 15% glenoid bone loss with an on-track or off-track Hill-Sachs lesion as previously recommended. Repair conditions included isolated BR, BR with remplissage, and BR with DAS (long head of biceps transfer). The glenohumeral stability was assessed by measuring the anterior translation under 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 N load and maximum load without causing instability at mid-range (60°) and end-range (90°) external rotation (ER). Maximum range of motion (ROM) was measured by applying a 2.2-N·m torque in passive ER and internal rotation. RESULTS Isolated BR failed to restore native glenohumeral stability in both on-track and off-track bipolar bone loss models. Both remplissage and DAS significantly decreased the anterior instability in the bipolar bone loss models, showing better restoration than the isolated BR. In the on-track lesions, DAS successfully restored native glenohumeral stability and mobility, whereas remplissage significantly decreased anterior translation without load (-2.12 ± 1.07 mm at 90° ER, P = .003; -1.98 ± 1.23 mm at 60° ER, P = .015). In the off-track lesions, remplissage restored native glenohumeral stability but led to significant ROM limitation (-8.6° ± 2.3° for internal rotation, P < .001; -13.9° ± 6.2° for ER, P = .003), whereas DAS failed to restore native stability at 90° ER regarding the increased anterior translation under 50 N (4.10 ± 1.53 mm, P < .001) and decreased maximum load (-13.8 ± 9.2 N, P = .021). CONCLUSIONS At time-zero, both remplissage and DAS significantly reduced residual anterior instability compared with isolated BR in the bipolar bone loss models and restored the native glenohumeral stability under most translational loads. However, remplissage could decrease the anterior translation without load for on-track lesions and may restrict ROM for off-track lesions, whereas DAS failed to restore native stability under high translational loads for off-track lesions. CLINICAL RELEVANCE DAS could be recommended to treat on-track bipolar bone loss with less biomechanical adverse effects, whereas remplissage might be the preferred procedure to address off-track bipolar bone loss for better stability.

Graft Position, Healing, and Resorption in Anterior Glenohumeral Instability: A Comparison of 4 Glenoid Augmentation Techniques. Orthop J Sports Med 2024; 12:23259671241253163. [PMID: 38840788 PMCID: PMC11151773 DOI: 10.1177/23259671241253163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The success of glenoid augmentation procedures depends on accurate placement and healing of the graft to the glenoid. Different glenoid augmentation techniques have been described, but no comparative studies between them exist. Purpose To assess the bone graft position, healing, and resorption in a group of patients treated with 1 of 4 procedures: arthroscopic anterior bone-block procedure using either (1) fresh-frozen iliac crest allograft or (2) iliac crest autograft, (3) open Latarjet, or (4) arthroscopic Latarjet. Study Design Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods A total of 40 patients (87.5% men; mean age, 29.5 ± 7.9 years) were included, with 10 patients in each of the procedure groups. The graft position in the axial and sagittal planes was assessed on postoperative computed tomography (CT). Graft healing and resorption were assessed in a second CT scan performed 1 year postoperatively. Qualitative variables were compared between the 4 procedures using the chi-square test, and quantitative variables were compared with the Student t test or Mann-Whitney U test. Results No differences were found between the procedures in the axial or sagittal position. The healing rate was significantly lower in the allograft bone-block group (20%) compared with the autograft bone-block (80%), open Latarjet (90%), and arthroscopic Latarjet (90%) groups (P < .001). Graft resorption developed in 17 of 40 (42.5%) cases overall. Osteolysis occurred in 100% of cases in the allograft bone-block group compared with 50% in the autograft group, 20% in the open Latarjet group, and 0% in the arthroscopic Latarjet group (P < .001). The glenoid surface area on 1-year CT scan was significantly lower in the allograft bone-block group compared with the autograft bone-block, open Latarjet, and arthroscopic Latarjet groups (P < .001). Conclusion Arthroscopic bone-block, open Latarjet, and arthroscopic Latarjet procedures provided accurate bone graft positioning. However, very high rates of osteolysis and nonunion were observed in the iliac crest fresh-frozen allograft bone-block procedure when compared with the other procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several arthroscopic glenoid bone augmentation techniques have been introduced to treat patients affected by anterior shoulder instability associated with critical bone loss. The efficacy of the different arthroscopic bony procedures has not been compared yet. PURPOSE To compare the recurrence, complication, and reoperation rates of the arthroscopic Latarjet (AL) and arthroscopic free bone block (ABB) procedures for anterior shoulder instability. STUDY DESIGN Meta-analysis and systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase to identify clinical studies reporting the outcomes of the AL and ABB procedures. The following search phrases were used: "Arthroscopic" AND "Bone Block" OR "Bone Graft," and "Arthroscopic" AND "Glenoid Augmentation" OR "Glenoid Reconstruction," and "Arthroscopic" AND "Latarjet" OR "Coracoid Graft" OR "Coracoid Transfer." Exclusion criteria were <24 months of minimum follow-up, sample size <10 cases, revision after previous glenoid bone grafting, epilepsy, and multidirectional instability. Data regarding the study design, patient characteristics, surgical technique, and outcomes were extracted and analyzed. A proportional meta-analysis was conducted to compare the complication, recurrence, and reoperation rates between the 2 groups. Multiple subgroup analyses were performed to analyze the incidence of each complication and assess the weight of different fixation methods (in the whole cohort) or different graft types (in the ABB group). The modified Coleman Methodology Score was used to assess the risk of bias. RESULTS Of 5010 potentially relevant studies, 18 studies regarding the AL procedure (908 cases) and 15 studies regarding the ABB procedure (469 cases) were included. The 2 groups were comparable in age (P = .07), sex (P = .14), glenoid bone loss (P = .14), number of preoperative dislocations (P = .62), proportion of primary and revision procedures (P = .95), length of follow-up (P = .81), modified Coleman Methodology Score (P = .21), and level of evidence (P = .49). There was no difference in the recurrence (P = .88), reoperation (P = .79), and complication (P = .08) rates. The subgroup analyses showed a higher rate of hardware-related complications for screw fixation compared with flexible fixation (P = .01). CONCLUSION The AL and ABB procedures had similar recurrence, reoperation, and complication rates. Screw fixation of the bone graft was related to an increased risk of complications compared with flexible fixation. REGISTRATION CRD42022368153 (PROSPERO).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glenoid reconstruction with a bone block for anterior glenoid bone loss (GBL) has shown excellent outcomes. However, fixation techniques that require metal implants are associated with metal-related complications and bone graft resorption. HYPOTHESIS Arthroscopic glenoid reconstruction using a tricortical iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) and metal-free suture tape cerclage fixation can safely and effectively restore the glenoid surface area in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability and anterior GBL. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS Adult patients (≥18 years) of both sexes with recurrent anterior shoulder instability and anterior GBL ≥15% were enrolled. These patients underwent arthroscopic glenoid reconstruction with ICBGs and metal-free suture tape cerclage fixation. The effectiveness and clinical outcomes with this technique were evaluated at 24 months using functional scores. Resorption of the graft articular surface was assessed by computed tomography, with the graft surface divided into 6 square areas aligned in 2 columns. Descriptive analysis was conducted. RESULTS A total of 23 consecutive patients met inclusion criteria (22 male, 1 female; mean age, 30.5 ± 7.9 years). The mean preoperative GBL was 19.7% ± 3.4%, and there were 15 allograft and 8 autograft ICBGs. All patients exhibited graft union at 3 months. The median follow-up was 38.5 months (interquartile range, 24-45 months). The Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index, Rowe, Constant-Murley, and Subjective Shoulder Value scores improved from preoperatively (35.1%, 24.8, 83.1, and 30.9, respectively) to postoperatively (84.7%, 91.1, 96.0, and 90.9, respectively) (P < .001). No differences in clinical scores were observed between the graft types. One surgical wound infection was reported, and 2 patients (8.7% [95% CI, 2.4%-26.8%]) required a reoperation. The mean overall glenoid surface area increased from 80.3% ± 3.5% to 117.0% ± 8.3% immediately after surgery before subsequently reducing to 98.7% ± 6.2% and 95.0% ± 5.7% at 12 and 24 months, respectively (P < .001). The mean graft resorption rate was 18.1% ± 7.9% in the inner column and 80.3% ± 22.4% in the outer column. Additionally, 3 patients treated with an allograft (20.0% [95% CI, 7.1%-45.2%]), including the 2 with clinical failures, exhibited complete graft resorption at the last follow-up. CONCLUSION Arthroscopic glenoid reconstruction using an ICBG and metal-free suture tape cerclage fixation was safe and effective, yielding excellent clinical outcomes. Resorption of the graft articular surface predominantly affected the nonloaded areas beyond the best-fit circle perimeter.

Abstract
CASE A 19-year-old man underwent arthroscopic posterior glenoid reconstruction with a distal tibia allograft (DTA) after failing 2 posterior, soft-tissue instability surgeries. Although he experienced near-complete resolution of symptoms and return to sport, graft resorption was noted 7 months postoperatively. The patient underwent revision surgery for screw removal. CONCLUSION Graft resorption has not previously been reported in the setting of arthroscopic DTA use for posterior instability. It is believed that stress shielding contributed to resorption. In such situations, screw removal may be warranted. Consideration of alternative fixation techniques and additional investigation into the causes, clinical significance, and optimal management of posterior DTA resorption are warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE Recurrent anterior shoulder instability caused by critical bone loss of the glenoid is a challenging condition for shoulder surgeons. The purpose of this prospective multicenter trial was to compare the arthroscopic transfer of the coracoid process (Latarjet procedure) with the arthroscopic reconstruction of the glenoid using iliac crest autografts. METHODS A prospective multi-center trial was performed in nine orthopaedic centres in Austria, Germany and Switzerland between July 2015 and August 2021. Patients were prospectively enrolled and received either an arthroscopic Latarjet procedure or an arthroscopic iliac crest graft transfer. Standardized follow-up after 6 months and mimimum 24 months included range of motion, Western Ontario stability index (WOSI), Rowe score and subjective shoulder value (SSV). All complications were recorded. RESULTS 177 patients (group Latarjet procedure: n = 110, group iliac crest graft: n = 67) were included in the study. WOSI (n.s.), SSV (n.s.) and Rowe score (n.s.) showed no difference at final follow-up. 10 complications were seen in group Latarjet procedure and 5 in group iliac crest graft; the frequency of complications did not differ between the two groups (n.s.). CONCLUSION The arthrosopic Latarjet procedure and arthroscopic iliac crest graft transfer lead to comparable results regarding clinical scores, frequency of recurrent dislocations and complication rates.

Abstract
Despite multiple modifications, the Latarjet is still the most popular procedure for recurrent anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss. Partial or subtotal resorption of the graft is common, potentially leading to hardware prominence and risk of anterior soft-tissue impingement. To minimize the technical difficulties and morbidity associated with metallic implants, a coracoid and conjoint tendon transfer with a mini-open approach using Cerclage tape suture is described, as an alternative for the Latarjet procedure typically performed with metal screws and plates.

Abstract
Bone loss has been identified as a risk factor for recurrent shoulder dislocations or failure after soft tissue repair. Although the range for "critical" bone loss is yet to be determined, glenoid and humeral bone defects should not be regarded as independent problems, but the interaction between them during shoulder motion should be evaluated as suggested by the glenoid track concept. The glenoid track concept is now widely accepted and considered essential for making decisions about surgery. Soft-tissue procedures usually work well in patients with on-track Hill-Sachs lesions but in off-track lesions do not. In this situation additional procedures should be performed.Different surgical options have been described to address off-track Hill-Sachs lesions, most commonly remplissage, Latarjet or free bone block procedures. Coracoid graft and free bone grafts convert the off-track Hill-Sachs lesion into on-track by lengthening the glenoid-track, whereas remplissage fill-in the humeral lesion so that it does not engage. In the setting of a Hill-Sachs lesion with little or no glenoid bone loss, remplissage has demonstrated satisfactory outcomes with a low complications and recurrence rate. Favorable results have been reported with glenoid bone grafting when managing isolated Hill-Sachs or bipolar lesions. Studies analyzing Latarjet and Eden-Hybinette procedures show that both procedures are safe and effective in the management of anterior glenohumeral instability. Attention should be paid to those patients with large bone defects not amenable to be restored with an isolated Latarjet that may be better addressed with an Eden-Hybinnete or adding a remplissage to the Latarjet procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonrigid fixation techniques have been recently introduced in free bone block (FBB) procedures to treat substantial glenoid bone loss in patients with anterior shoulder instability. However, the radiological and histological effectiveness of nonrigid fixation versus conventional rigid fixation have not been comprehensively understood in vivo. PURPOSE To (1) explore the radiological and histological characteristics of nonrigid fixation for FBB procedures in a rabbit model of glenoid defects and (2) further compare them with those of conventional rigid fixation. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Unilateral shoulder glenoid defects were created in 36 mature New Zealand White rabbits, of which 24 underwent FBB procedures using allogenic iliac crest bone and were randomly divided into rigid fixation (RF) and nonrigid fixation (N-RF) groups, with the remaining divided into 2 control groups: 6 with sham surgery for glenoid defects (GD group) and 6 native glenoids (normal group). In the RF and N-RF groups, 6 rabbits were sacrificed at 6 or 12 weeks postoperatively for radiological and histological analyses of the reconstructed glenoid, and all rabbits in the GD and normal groups were sacrificed at 12 weeks. The radiological glenoid morphology was evaluated via micro-computed tomography. Moreover, the graft-glenoid healing and graft remodeling processes were determined using histological staining. RESULTS At 6 weeks, both the N-RF and RF groups had similarly improved radiological axial radian and en face area of the glenoid compared with the GD group, but the N-RF group showed superiority in restoration of the glenoid radian and area compared with the RF group at 12 weeks, with the native glenoid as the baseline. Histologically, the bone graft in both groups was substantively integrated into the deficient glenoid neck at 6 and 12 weeks, showing similar osseous healing processes at the graft-glenoid junction. Moreover, the bone graft histologically presented similar regenerated vascular density, total graft bone, and integrated graft bone in both groups. In contrast, the N-RF group had a different remodeling profile on radiological and histological analyses regarding regional bone resorption, mineralization, and fibrous tissue replacement during osseointegration. CONCLUSION Compared with rigid fixation, nonrigid fixation resulted in superior reconstructed glenoid morphology radiologically and similar graft-glenoid osseous healing histologically, showing different graft remodeling profiles of regional bone resorption, mineralization, and fibrous tissue replacement. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The nonrigid fixation technique can be feasible for FBB procedures to treat glenoid bone loss in anterior shoulder instability. More clinical evidence is required to determine its pros and cons compared with conventional rigid fixation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As an alternative to the Latarjet procedure, the arthroscopic free bone block (FBB) procedure combined with dynamic anterior stabilization (DAS) has been recently proposed to provide both glenoid augmentation and a tendon sling effect for treating anterior shoulder instability (ASI) with glenoid bone loss. PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of FBB-DAS for ASI with glenoid bone loss. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS Patients who underwent arthroscopic FBB-DAS for ASI with >15% glenoid bone loss between February 2017 and March 2020 were screened and enrolled in this study. Clinical outcome measures were assessed preoperatively and at a minimum 2-year follow-up, including recurrence, complications, shoulder functional scores, range of motion, and return to sports. Postoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were also performed. RESULTS Of a total of 65 patients with a mean follow-up of 46.1 ± 13.1 months, no patients experienced a recurrent dislocation or subluxation postoperatively, while 2 had a positive anterior apprehension test (3.1%). Additionally, 2 patients (3.1%) experienced complications of hematoma and shoulder stiffness, respectively. The mean visual analog scale score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Rowe score, and Oxford Shoulder Instability Score all improved significantly from 3.2 ± 2.4, 75.0 ± 18.9, 43.6 ± 27.3, and 33.8 ± 9.0 preoperatively to 1.3 ± 0.8, 95.1 ± 8.0, 95.5 ± 7.8, and 14.8 ± 3.5 at final follow-up, respectively (all P < .001). No difference was detected in range of motion except for 8.1° and 7.5° external rotation limitations in adduction and abduction, respectively. There were 62 patients (95.4%) who returned to sports, and 54 patients (83.1%) returned to the preinjury level. The transferred biceps tendon was intact in all 59 patients who completed radiological examination at the latest follow-up. Good bone healing was achieved in 98.3% of patients, and the glenoid bone defect decreased from 18.1% to 4.9%. Osseous and labral glenoids were significantly enlarged in width and depth on the latest magnetic resonance imaging (all P < .001). CONCLUSION Arthroscopic FBB-DAS provided satisfactory clinical and radiological outcomes for ASI with glenoid bone loss. Despite slight external rotation restrictions, it achieved low recurrence and complication rates, excellent shoulder functional scores, a high return-to-sports rate, and favorable graft healing and remodeling.

Open anatomical glenoid reconstruction with an iliac crest bone autograft effectively resolves off-track Hill-Sachs lesions to on-track lesions. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2023; 143:203-211. [PMID: 34223973 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-021-04016-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2021] [Accepted: 06/23/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to determine if "off-track" Hill-Sachs lesions in patients with dynamic anteroinferior instability were transformed into "on-track" lesions using iliac bone autografts with screw fixation. The secondary purpose was to observe if postoperative bony remodeling would occur over time, resulting in recurrent "off-track" Hill-Sachs lesions with corresponding instability. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed clinical and CT records of 8 patients with an "off-track" Hill-Sachs lesion who underwent open anatomical glenoid reconstruction with an iliac crest bone autograft. Hill-Sachs lesions, glenoid track widths, and glenoid surface areas were measured on a preoperative and two postoperative (6 weeks, ≥ 2 years) 3D-CT models to determine graft resorption over time. All patients were available for postoperative clinical and CT final follow-up 3 years (2-4 years) postoperatively. RESULTS In all patients, the Hill-Sachs lesions were "on-track" 6 weeks postoperatively and remained "on-track" at final-follow-up. Compared to preoperative values, the glenoid track width and glenoid surface area both were higher 6 weeks postoperatively (p < 0.001 and p = 0.023, respectively) and at final follow-up (p < 0.001 and p = 0.023, respectively). Whereas the glenoid track width between 6 weeks and final follow-up showed no decrease (p = 0.234), glenoid surface area tended to decrease (p = 0.055). The median SSV was 93 points (85-95 points), the Rowe score 90 points (80-100 points) and the WOSI 1980 points (1783-2067 points) at final follow-up. No recurrent dislocations or subluxations were observed. CONCLUSIONS An open anatomical glenoid reconstruction with an iliac crest bone autograft technique using screw fixation effectively transformed "off-track" Hill-Sachs lesions to "on-track" lesions, resulting in good short-term clinical outcomes. Whereas glenoid surface area tended to be reduced by bony remodeling processes over time, the glenoid track width did not decrease at final follow-up and consequently no recurrence of "off-track" lesions occurred.

High resorption rates following glenoid augmentation procedures do not seem to lead to higher recurrence rates or worse clinical outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2022:10.1007/s00167-022-07267-x. [PMID: 36515733 DOI: 10.1007/s00167-022-07267-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Bone augmentation techniques show a relatively high complication rate, which might be due to graft non-union and resorption. It is unclear which augmentation techniques demonstrate the highest amount of non-union and resorption and whether this leads to worse clinical or functional outcomes. Therefore, the aim of this review was (i) to compare non-union and resorption rates between surgical approaches, procedures, graft types, donor sites and fixation methods regarding clinical and functional outcomes and (ii) determine whether high non-union or resorption rates lead to less favorable clinical or functional outcomes. METHODS The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statements were followed. PubMed, EMBASE (Ovid) and Cochrane Library were searched on December 15th 2021 for studies examining bone graft non-union or resorption using radiograph or CT following glenoid augmentation to treat anterior shoulder dislocation. RESULTS The search resulted in 103 inclusions, comprising 5,128 glenoid augmentations. When comparing pooled proportions of bony union, graft fracture rate, hardware failure rate, recurrence rate, return to sports and Rowe score, most results were similar between approaches, procedures, graft types, donor sites and fixation methods. High resorption rates were seen for allograft augmentation (74.3; 95% CI: 39.8-92.7) compared to autograft augmentation (15.5; 95% CI 10.1-23.2), but this was not associated with higher recurrence rates or worse clinical outcomes. Meta-analyses (8 studies; 494 patients) demonstrated no difference in incomplete and complete non-union rates between arthroscopic and open procedures; however, both analyses showed substantial heterogeneity. Higher partial resorption rates were observed on CT (48.0; 95% CI 43.3-52.7) compared to radiograph (14.1; 95% CI 10.9-18.1). Three studies comprising 267 shoulders demonstrated a higher rate of non-union and recurrence in smokers, whereas one study comprising 38 shoulders did not. CONCLUSION Non-union and resorption rates were similar among procedures, grafts and fixation methods. Higher resorption rates were observed in allografts, but this was not associated with higher recurrence rates or worse clinical outcomes. Pooling data demonstrated substantial heterogeneity and definitions varied among studies, warranting more standardized measuring. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
Delayed treatment of shoulder instability results in bone loss requiring more-complicated surgery, in turn resulting in less-optimal outcomes. Similarly, delayed treatment of repairable rotator cuff tears results in irreparable tears requiring more-complicated surgery and resulting in less-optimal outcomes. Delayed treatment of shoulder pathology is a problem. Solutions include education and research investigation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the results of arthroscopic autologous iliac bone graft suspension fixation combined with the Remplissage procedure in the treatment of recurrent shoulder dislocation with bony Bankart lesions and joint hyperlaxity. METHODS From 2018 to 2020, 22 patients with joint laxity underwent arthroscopic autologous iliac bone graft suspension fixation and Bankart repair combined with the Remplissage procedure due to recurrent shoulder dislocation. Clinical assessment included range of motion (forward flexion, abduction, 90° external rotation, conventional external rotation, adduction, and internal rotation), visual analog scale (VAS) score, Rowe score, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) score, and Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) score. Post-operatively, the healing of the bone graft was evaluated with computed tomography (CT) scanning. RESULTS All 22 patients were followed up for a mean of 19.3 ± 4.1 months. CT imaging showed that the healing time of the bone graft was 6-8 weeks. The patient satisfaction rate was 100%, there were no cases of redislocation, all patients returned to their preinjury training state, and the fear test was negative. At the final follow-up, the UCLA, VAS, Rowe, and WOSI scores were 29.8 ± 2.1, 2.2 ± 0.8, 89.4 ± 4.2, and 482.3 ± 46.2, respectively (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Arthroscopic autologous iliac bone graft suspension fixation and Bankart repair combined with the Remplissage procedure are effective in preventing recurrent instability with joint hyperlaxity. Furthermore, no patient had redislocation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
Fresh distal tibia allograft (DTA) has been gaining popularity among surgeons as an anatomic reconstruction option for the treatment of significant glenoid bone loss. Fresh DTA results in a clinically stable joint with excellent clinical outcomes and minimal graft resorption, and it has similar outcomes as the Latarjet procedure. Proper graft preparation and fixation are critical to ensuring optimal outcomes. The purpose of this Technical Note is, therefore, to describe our updated technique for DTA preparation that highlights precise cutting anatomy, sizing options, and use of orthobiologics to optimize distal tibia graft union to the native glenoid surface.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traumatic anterior shoulder dislocations can cause bony defects of the anterior glenoid rim and are often associated with recurrent shoulder instability. For large glenoid defects of 20-30% without a mobile bony fragment, glenoid reconstruction with bone grafts is often recommended. This review describes two broad categories of glenoid reconstruction procedures found in literature: coracoid transfers involving the Bristow and Latarjet procedures, and free bone grafting techniques. METHODS An electronic search of MEDLINE and PubMed was conducted to find original articles that described glenoid reconstruction techniques or modifications to existing techniques. RESULTS Coracoid transfers involve the Bristow and Latarjet procedures. Modifications to these procedures such as arthroscopic execution, method of graft attachment and orientation have been described. Free bone grafts have been obtained from the iliac crest, distal tibia, acromion, distal clavicle and femoral condyle. CONCLUSION Both coracoid transfers and free bone grafting procedures are options for reconstructing large bony defects of the anterior glenoid rim and have had similar clinical outcomes. Free bone grafts may offer greater flexibility in graft shaping and choice of graft size depending on the bone stock chosen. Novel developments tend towards minimising invasiveness using arthroscopic approaches and examining alternative non-rigid graft fixation techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence on the efficacy and safety of the free bone grafting in treating anterior shoulder instability is limited. The purpose of this study was to systematically evaluate the clinical and imaging results of free bone grafting in treating anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone defect and to explore the incidence of complications in clinically relevant subgroups. METHODS This systematic review was conducted per PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) guidelines. The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched up to January 29, 2021, for studies that had reported on free bone grafting in treating anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone defect with a minimum of 1-year follow-up. Two researchers independently screened studies and extracted data. A random-effects model was used to pool data on clinical function scores, imaging results, and incidence of complications (recurrent instability and non-instability-related complications). Meta-regression analysis was used to evaluate the incidence of complications in different subgroups and investigate the sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS A total of 29 studies were included in the meta-analysis, comprising 840 patients (845 shoulders) with average ages ranging from 21 to 34.6 years. Compared with preoperatively, free bone grafting increased the postoperative Rowe score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Constant score, Subjective Shoulder Value, and Oxford Shoulder Instability Score by 53.16, 31.80, 20.81, 38.63, and 4.07 points, respectively, and reduced the visual analog scale pain score by 3 points on average. During the postoperative follow-up period, the rates of return to sport and return to preoperative levels were 84.2% and 73.1%, respectively. The imaging results showed that the free bone healing rate was 98.9% and the incidence of osteoarthritis was 10.9%. The incidence rates of recurrent instability and non-instability-related complications were 3.4% and 5.6%, respectively. Meta-regression analysis showed no evidence of effect modification by the year, follow-up time, proportion of male patients, autograft or allograft, and arthroscopy or open surgery on the incidence of complications. Subgroup analysis showed that the incidence rates of recurrent instability for open surgery, arthroscopy, allograft, autograft, Latarjet revision, and non-bone block revision were 4.1%, 2.3%, 1.5%, 4.4%, 10.3%, and 3.5%, respectively. CONCLUSION The application of free bone grafting in treating anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone defect can effectively improve shoulder joint function and is associated with a high return-to-sport rate and a low overall recurrence rate, but there were some differences in the complications of recurrent instability and non-instability-related complications among the subgroups. Given that these results need to be confirmed via head-to-head comparisons, we recommend that future clinical and biomechanical studies focus on comparing and investigating the advantages and disadvantages of different surgical approaches, thus providing a basis for orthopedic surgeons to make reliable choices.

Anterior Shoulder Instability Part II-Latarjet, Remplissage, and Glenoid Bone-Grafting-An International Consensus Statement. Arthroscopy 2022; 38:224-233.e6.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to establish consensus statements via a modified Delphi process on the Latarjet procedure, remplissage, and glenoid-bone grafting for anterior shoulder instability. METHODS A consensus process on the treatment utilizing a modified Delphi technique was conducted, with 65 shoulder surgeons from 14 countries across 5 continents participating. Experts were assigned to one of 9 working groups defined by specific subtopics of interest within anterior shoulder instability. RESULTS The technical approaches identified in the statements on the Latarjet procedure and glenoid bone-graft were that a subscapularis split approach should be utilized, and that it is unclear whether a capsular repair is routinely required. Furthermore, despite similar indications, glenoid bone-grafting may be preferred over the Latarjet in patients with bone-loss greater than can be treated with a coracoid graft, and in cases of surgeon preference, failed prior Latarjet or glenoid bone-grafting procedure, and epilepsy. In contrast, the primary indications for a remplissage procedure was either an off-track or engaging Hill-Sachs lesion without severe glenoid bone loss. Additionally, in contrast to the bone-block procedure, complications following remplissage are rare, and loss of shoulder external rotation can be minimized by performing the tenodesis via the safe-zone and not over medializing the fixation. CONCLUSION Overall, 89% of statements reached unanimous or strong consensus. The statements that reached unanimous consensus were the prognostic factors that are important to consider in those undergoing a glenoid bone-grafting procedure including age, activity level, Hill-Sachs Lesion, extent of glenoid bone-loss, hyperlaxity, prior surgeries, and arthritic changes. Furthermore, there was unanimous agreement that it is unclear whether a capsular repair is routinely required with a glenoid bone graft, but it may be beneficial in some cases. There was no unanimous agreement on any aspect related to the Latarjet procedure or Remplissage. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level V, expert opinion.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of our study is to prove that the autologous scapular spine bone graft is an alternative for the treatment of anterior shoulder instability and the clinical and radiological results are promising. METHOD From July 2016 to August 2018, patients who were diagnosed as having anterior shoulder instability with subcritical (10%-15%) glenoid bone loss were treated by arthroscopic repair with autologous scapular spine bone graft. The inclusion criteria were (1) anterior shoulder instability underwent arthroscopic autologous scapular spine bone graft; (2) glenoid bone loss was within 10% to 15% (measured by Sugaya's method); (3) three complete sets of computed tomography (CT) scans (preoperative, 1 week after surgery, and 1 year after surgery) available; and (4) clinical follow-up time was at least 2 years. The exclusion criteria were (1) concomitant rotator cuff tear; (2) concomitant remplissage or SLAP repair; (3) previous surgery of the affected shoulder; (4) open surgery; and (5) incomplete radiological or clinical follow-up. The preoperative and postoperative Constant-Murley score, dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH) score, visual analog scale (VAS) score, and range of motion (ROM) were recorded. CT scans with 3-dimensional reconstruction were obtained at the first week after operation and at 1 year after operation; the graft resorption rate was consequently calculated. RESULTS Twenty-seven patients were qualified and enrolled in the study. No severe complication was recorded during follow-up. No redislocation or subluxation was found, and the apprehension tests were all negative. At the last follow-up, the mean Constant-Murley score was 89.74 ± 3.71, the mean DASH score was 9.77 ± 5.31, the mean VAS score was 0.74 ± 0.64, which are all improved significantly compared with preoperative scores (P = .00,.00,.00, respectively). At the last follow-up, the ROM including anterior flexion, external rotation by side, and the internal rotation were well restored without significant difference compared with the contralateral shoulder (P =.48, .08, .47, respectively). At 1 year after operation, the resorption rate of the bone graft was 19.4%. CONCLUSION This study found that anterior shoulder instability with subcritical (10%-15%) glenoid bone loss treated with arthroscopic autologous scapular spine bone graft with suture anchor fixation is safe and could achieve satisfactory result at short-term follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic case series.

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND TRAUMATOLOGY 2021; 32:279-286. [PMID: 33818639 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-021-02965-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2021] [Accepted: 03/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The primary aim of this study is to prove that reconstructing the anterior glenoid defect with iliac crest graft arthroscopically using double-barrelled cannula through the rotator interval is safe and prevents both recurrence of instability and the neurovascular injury because subscapularis muscle is not split and procedure is far away from important structures. METHODS Thirteen patients with anterior shoulder instability and engaging Hill-Sachs lesion were reviewed after arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior glenoid with iliac crest autogenous graft. Patient satisfaction and Western Ontario İnstability Score (WOSI) were evaluated on clinical examination. Computed tomography was used to analyse graft position on sagittal and axial planes. RESULTS The mean follow-up was 28.7 months (SD 7.1), and age at surgery was 31 years (21 to 64 years). Post-operatively there was only one dislocation due to trauma. There was statistically significant improvement of WOSI scores (p: 0.001). There was not any neurological injury. Graft position on the axial plane was described as flush in 5 cases (41%), lateral in 2 (16%), too lateral in one (8%) and medial in 4 of the cases (33%). Graft position could be accepted as high in only three patients (23%). CONCLUSION Arthroscopic reconstruction of glenoid defect using autogenous iliac bone graft, through rotator interval, without splitting subscapularis is safe and effective without any neurological injury, producing substantial graft position and good functional outcomes in patients.

Arthroscopic Iliac Crest Bone Allograft Combined With Subscapularis Upper-Third Tenodesis Shows a Low Recurrence Rate in the Treatment of Recurrent Anterior Shoulder Instability Associated With Critical Bone Loss. Arthroscopy 2021; 37:824-833. [PMID: 33359157 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2020.11.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2020] [Revised: 11/08/2020] [Accepted: 11/12/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes of patients undergoing arthroscopic glenoid bone allograft combined with subscapularis upper-third tenodesis for anterior shoulder instability associated with clinically relevant bone loss and hyperlaxity. METHODS Between January 2016 and December 2017, patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability associated with bone loss and hyperlaxity were selected and treated with arthroscopic iliac crest bone graft combined with subscapularis upper-third tenodesis. The selection criteria were as follows: more than 5 dislocations; positive apprehension, anterior drawer, and Coudane-Walch test results; glenoid bone defect between 15% and 30% and humeral bone defect with an engaging Hill-Sachs lesion; and no previous shoulder surgery. All patients were followed up with the Constant score, University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) rating, Rowe score, and visual analog scale evaluation. Assessments were performed with plain radiographs and a PICO computed tomography scan before surgery and at 2 years of follow-up. RESULTS Nineteen patients were included in the study, with a mean follow-up duration of 34.6 months (range, 24-48 months). In 17 patients (89%), excellent clinical results were recorded according to the Rowe score. The Constant score improved from 82.9 (standard deviation [SD], 5.2) to 88.9 (SD, 4.3) (P = .002); Rowe score, from 25.3 (SD, 5.3) to 89.1 (SD, 21.8) (P < .001); UCLA score, from 23.7 (SD, 3) to 31.5 (SD, 4.8) (P < .001); and visual analog scale score, from 3.2 to 1.3 (P < .001). Patients met the minimal clinically important difference 94.7%, 89.5%, and 47.3% of the time for the Rowe score, UCLA score, and Constant score, respectively. Bone graft resorption was observed in all patients: partial in 9 and complete in 10. We recorded 2 recurrent traumatic dislocations (11%), with no case of persistent anterior apprehension or other complication. CONCLUSIONS An arthroscopic glenoid bone graft combined with subscapularis upper-third tenodesis may be a valid surgical option to treat recurrent anterior instability associated with both bone loss and hyperlaxity. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, case series.

Abstract
Massive glenoid bone loss in recurrent anterior instability of the shoulder represents a surgical challenge. Some clinical trials have been published assessing the role of arthroscopic iliac crest bone grafting techniques for the management of recurrent anterior instability with glenoid bone loss. However, bone graft fixation is still controversial. We developed a method for anatomic reconstruction of anterior glenoid bone defects using autologous iliac crest graft. This technique is based on the assumption that anatomic restoration of glenoid depth and width is essential to restore stability to the shoulder.

Use of allograft to reconstruct anterior bony glenoid defect in chronic glenohumeral instability: a systematic review. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2020; 140:1475-1485. [PMID: 32524228 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-020-03511-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2019] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bone-block procedures are well-established in anterior chronic shoulder instability treatment. Autograft with the coracoid process (Bristow-Latarjet procedures) and iliac crest (Eden-Hybbinette) are the most frequent source of bone but the use of allograft is also possible. The objective of this review is to assess clinical and radiographic outcomes after bony allograft reconstruction in anterior glenohumeral instability. MATERIAL AND METHODS Medline, Cochrane, Embase databases were searched for studies reporting on bone allograft reconstruction in anterior glenohumeral instability with glenoid defect. We conducted a systematic review of studies with all levels of evidence reporting on clinical or radiological outcomes or both. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV. RESULTS Ten studies met the inclusion criteria for the review; 283 shoulders were included with a mean age of 26 years (17-63) and mean follow-up of 34 months (4-168). Glenoid reconstruction was performed using bone from different source: femoral head (1 study), distal tibia allograft (5 studies), and iliac crest (4 studies). Allografts were fresh in 4 studies, demineralized in 2 studies, and freeze-dried after sterilization in 1 study. All scores performed in the different studies increased between pre-operative and post-operative evaluations (mean + 36.8 points for the ASES). Global rate of recurrence was 3.9% (11 patients) (0-11%), comprising 6 cases of dislocation (2.1%) and 5 subluxations (1.8%). Allograft healing occurred in 93.5% of cases. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review data suggest that allograft reconstructions in anterior glenohumeral instability could be a viable alternative to similar reconstructions with autografts and provide close clinical/radiological outcomes, at short and mid-term follow-up. Prospective randomized studies are needed to confirm these results.
