The Use of Linear Formulas to Estimate Glenoid Bone Loss in the Lebanese Population: A 3-Dimensional Computed Tomography Study. Orthop J Sports Med 2024; 12:23259671241249715.

Abstract
Background Glenoid bone loss (GBL) is common in patients with shoulder instability and plays a major role in surgical decision-making. While a plethora of GBL estimation methods exist, all of which present specific challenges, recent studies have developed simple linear formulas estimating GBL based on glenoid height. Purpose To assess the correlation between glenoid height and width, and to develop specific formulas based on age and sex to calculate the native glenoid width in the Lebanese population. Study Design Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods Computed tomography scans for 202 normal shoulders were extracted from our database. The glenoids were reconstructed in 3 dimensions and their width and height were measured. Glenoid width and height were compared between male and female groups. Correlation analysis was also performed on the width, height, age, and body mass index. Formulas estimating glenoid width were developed using regression analysis including all variables significantly influencing the model. Results were then compared with the values calculated using previously published formulas to determine the external validity when using linear formulas to estimate GBL. Results Significant differences were found between men and women. Regression analysis found that glenoid height and width strongly influenced the model, and that age showed a weak but significant correlation; therefore, the following 2 sex-specific formulas were developed: width (mm) = 6.1 + 0.51 ×height+ 0.03 ×age, and width (mm) = 4.55 + 0.51 ×height+ 0.03 ×age, in men and women, respectively. The values yielded from the formulas developed in this study and the true width significantly differed from those calculated from previous reports. Conclusion A strong correlation was found between glenoid height and width in a the Lebanese population and demonstrated that glenoid width can be accurately calculated based on the glenoid height and patient's age and sex using the following simplified formulas: width (mm) = 6 + 0.5 ×height+ 0.03 ×age, and width (mm) = 4.5 + 0.5 ×height+ 0.03 ×age, in men and women, respectively.

[PMID: 38302596 PMCID: PMC10933210 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-024-06095-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study reveals a new intuitive method for preoperatively assessing defect ratio in glenoid deficiency based on the native glenoid width and the bare spot. METHODS A linear relationship, i.e. the rh formula, between the native glenoid width (2r) and height (h) was revealed by a cadaver cohort (n = 204). To validate the reliability of the rh formula, 280 3D-CT images of intact glenoids were recruited. To evaluate the accuracy of rh formula in estimating glenoid defect, the 65 anterior-inferior defect models were artificially established based on the 3D-CT images of intact glenoids. Moreover, a clinically common anterior-posterior (AP) method was compared with the rh formula, to verify the technical superiority of rh formula. RESULTS The regression analysis indicated a linear relationship between the width and height of intact glenoid: 2r = 0.768 × h - 1.222 mm (R2 = 0.820, p < 0.001). An excellent reliability was found between the formula prediction and model width (ICC = 0.911, p = 0.266). An excellent agreement was found between the predicted values and model parameters (glenoid width, ICCrh = 0.967, prh = 0.778; defect ratio, prh = 0.572, ICCrh = 0.997). And, it is of higher accuracy compared to the AP method (glenoid width, ICCAP = 0.933, pAP = 0.001; defect ratio, ICCAP = 0.911, pAP = 0.033). CONCLUSION Applying the cadaver-based formula on 3D-CT scans accurately predicts native glenoid width and redefines bare spot for preoperatively determining glenoid bone loss.

Abstract
Advances in the understanding and management of bone loss in shoulder instability have led to the development of free bone block techniques as an alternative to the Latarjet procedure. These techniques have been proposed as a theoretically safer option to Latarjet, and there is growing clinical enthusiasm in their use. The purpose of this article was to contextualize the utilization of free bone block procedures in the current treatment paradigm of anterior shoulder instability and to review the history and common types of bone autograft (eg, iliac crest, distal clavicle, scapular spine) and allograft (eg, distal tibia, preshaped blocks) techniques and approaches, as well as their clinical effectiveness and safety.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We intended to determine if an acromion or distal clavicle bone graft could restore large glenoid defects using two novel, screw-free graft fixation techniques. METHODS Twenty-four sawbone shoulder models were divided into four groups (n = 6 per group) according to fixation technique and bone graft: (1) modified buckle-down technique with clavicle graft, (2) modified buckle-down technique with acromion graft, (3) cross-link technique with acromion graft, (4) cross-link technique with clavicle graft. Testing was performed sequentially in (1) intact models, (2) after creation of a 30% by-width glenoid defect and (3) after repair. The shoulder joint was translated anteriorly, and glenohumeral contact pressures and load were measured to quantify the biomechanical stability. RESULTS Maximum contact pressures were restored to 42-56% of intact glenoid using acromion and clavicle grafts with novel fixation techniques. Acromion grafts attained higher maximum contact pressures than clavicle grafts in all groups. Peak translational forces increased by 171-368% after all repairs. CONCLUSIONS This controlled laboratory study on sawbone models found that both the acromion and distal clavicle are suitable autologous bone graft options for treating large anterior glenoid defects, having appropriate dimensions and contours for reconstructing the glenoid arc. The modified buckle-down and cross-link techniques are two graft fixation techniques that restore stability to the shoulder joint upon repairing a large glenoid defect and are advantageous in being screw-free and simple to execute.

Abstract
CASE This case demonstrates the attempted utilization of an osteochondral allograft for the prevention of bony overgrowth in a patient with fibular hemimelia and previous transtibial amputation with failure of Teflon capping. Additionally, we describe a novel technique to provide additional padding and increase the width of the residual limb using a dermal allograft. CONCLUSIONS Bony overgrowth after pediatric amputations is common and often necessitates revision procedures secondary to infection, ulceration, pain, and discomfort with prosthesis use. Our use of an osteochondral allograft cap to prevent bony overgrowth ultimately failed 13 months following the procedure, and further research on various graft options and other treatment modalities is warranted, especially if the proximal fibula is unavailable or there is concern for donor site morbidity associated with harvesting autologous grafts.

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
PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between glenoid width and other morphologic parameters using three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) images of native shoulders, and to create a new measurement tool to assess glenoid defects in a Canadian population with established anterior shoulder instability. METHODS Forty-three glenoid CT scans were analyzed for patients who underwent contralateral shoulder glenoid reconstruction for anterior shoulder instability between 2012 and 2020. Demographic data were obtained including age, gender and BMI. The subjects were excluded if they had a prior history of ipsilateral shoulder instability, shoulder fractures, or bone tumors. The following glenoid parameters were measured: width (W), height (H), anteroposterior (AP) depth, superior-inferior (SI) depth and version. The shape of the glenoid was also classified into pear, inverted comma or oval. RESULTS There were 35 male and 8 females with a mean age of 34.5 ± 12.9 years. The glenoid width was strongly correlated with the height (R2 = 0.9) and a regression model equation was obtained: W (mm) = 2.5 + 0.7*H (mm). There was also strong correlation with gender (P < 0.001), glenoid shape (P = 0.030), AP and SI depths (P = 0.006 and P < 0.001, respectively). Male gender was associated with higher measurement values for all parameters. The most common glenoid shapes were the pear (46.5%) and oval morphotypes (39.6%) for the whole study group. CONCLUSION The native glenoid width can be estimated based on glenoid height using ipsilateral 3D CT. This may help with preoperative planning and surgical decision-making for patients with anterior shoulder instability and glenoid bone loss. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advances in the understanding and management of glenoid bone loss in shoulder instability have led to the development of alternative bony reconstruction techniques to the Latarjet using free bone grafts, but little is known about surgeon adoption of these procedures. This study sought to characterize surgeon variation in the use of glenoid bone reconstruction procedures for shoulder instability and ascertain reasons underlying procedure choice. METHODS A 9-question survey was created and distributed to 160 shoulder surgeons members of the PacWest Shoulder and Elbow Society, of whom 65 (41%) responded. The survey asked questions regarding fellowship training, years in practice, surgical volume, preferred methods of glenoid bone reconstruction, and reasons underlying treatment choice. RESULTS All surgeons completed a fellowship, with an equal number of sports medicine fellowship-trained (46%) and shoulder and elbow fellowship-trained (46%) physicians. The majority had been in practice for at least 6 years (6-10 years: 25%; >10 years: 59%). Most (78%) performed ≤10 glenoid bony reconstructions per year, and 66% indicated that bony procedures represented <10% of their total annual shoulder instability case volume. The open Latarjet was the preferred primary reconstruction method (69%), followed by open free bone block (FBB) (22%), arthroscopic FBB (8%), and arthroscopic Latarjet (1%). Distal tibia allograft (DTA) was the preferred graft (74%) when performing an FBB procedure, followed by iliac crest autograft (18%), and distal clavicle autograft (6%). The top 5 reasons for preferring Latarjet over FBB were the sling effect (57%), the autologous nature of the graft (37%), its robust clinical evidence (22%), low cost (17%), and availability (11%). The top 5 reasons for choosing an FBB procedure were less anatomic disruption (58%), lower complication rate (21%), restoration of articular cartilage interface (16%), graft versatility (11%), and technical ease (11%). Only 20% of surgeons indicated always performing a bony glenoid reconstruction procedure in the noncontact athlete with less than 20% glenoid bone loss. However, that percentage rose to 62% when considering a contact athlete with the same amount of bone loss. CONCLUSIONS Although open Latarjet continues to be the most popular glenoid bony primary reconstruction procedure in shoulder instability, nearly 30% of shoulder surgeons in the western United States have adopted FBB techniques as their preferred treatment modality--with DTA being the most frequently used graft. High-quality comparative clinical effectiveness research is needed to reduce decisional conflict and refine current evidence-based treatment algorithms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glenoid restoration techniques to address glenohumeral instability-induced anterior and posterior glenoid bone loss (AGBL and PGBL) often require reconstruction, but best-fit bone block (BFBB) modeling has not been developed. PURPOSE To provide glenoid bony reconstruction models for anterior and posterior instability of the shoulder using a bone loss instability cohort with high-fidelity 3-dimensional (3D) imaging. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS We reviewed consecutive patients indicated for operative stabilization who had posterior glenohumeral instability and suspected GBL who underwent 2-dimensional (2D) computed tomography (CT). Patients were matched by sex, laterality, and age to patients who underwent operative stabilization of anterior glenohumeral instability. Mimics software was used to convert all 2D CT scans into 3D models of the scapula. A BFBB model was designed to digitally reconstruct GBL and was used to predict the amount, anatomic configuration, and fixation configuration of bony reconstruction required in AGBL and PGBL. RESULTS The study included 30 patients with posterior instability and 30 patients with anterior instability; the participants' mean ± SD age was 28.8 ± 8.15 years (range, 16.0-51.0 years). Mean surface area of AGBL was 24.9% ± 7.7% (range, 14.7%-39.1%). Mean BFBB dimensions to reconstruct the anterior glenoid were determined to be a superior-inferior length of 23.9 ± 4.2 mm, anterior-posterior width of 6.4 ± 2.4 mm, and height of 1 cm. Mean angle of AGBL bone block interface relative to glenoid to reconstruct the native concavity was 79.4°± 5.9°. For PGBL, the mean surface area was 9.2% ± 5.6% (range, 3.0%-26.3%). Mean BFBB dimensions to reconstruct the posterior glenoid were a superior-inferior length of 21.9 ± 3.4 mm, width of 4.5 ± 2.3 mm, and height of 1 cm. The mean angle of PGBL bone block interface relative to the glenoid to reconstruct the native concavity was 38.6°± 14.3°. Orientation relative to the vertical glenoid axis was 77.2°± 13.8° in anterior reconstructions versus 105.9°± 10.9° in posterior reconstructions. CONCLUSION Patients with anterior instability required a more rectangular BFBB with a bone block-glenoid interface angle of 79°, whereas patients with posterior instability required a more trapezoidal, obtusely oriented BFBB with a bone block-glenoid interface angle of 39°. BFBBs for either AGBL or PGBL can be effectively designed, and their size and/or shape can be predicted based on approximate percentage of GBL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrent anterior shoulder instability is a common traumatic injury, the main clinical manifestation of which is recurrent anteroinferior dislocation of the humeral head. The current follow-up study showed that the effect of arthroscopic Bankart repair is unreliable.
AIM To evaluate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopy with subscapularis upper one-third tenodesis for treatment of anterior shoulder instability, and to develop a method to further improve anterior stability and reduce the recurrence rate.
METHODS Between January 2015 and December 2018, male patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability were selected. One hundred and twenty patients had a glenoid defect < 20% and 80 patients had a glenoid defect > 20%. The average age was 25 years (range, 18–45 years). Patients with a glenoid defect < 20% underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair with a subscapularis upper one-third tenodesis. The patients with a glenoid defect > 20% underwent an arthroscopic iliac crest bone autograft with a subscapularis upper one-third tenodesis. All patients were assessed with Rowe and Constant scores.
RESULTS The average shoulder forward flexion angle was 163.6° ± 8.3° and 171.8° ± 3.6° preoperatively and at the last follow-up evaluation, respectively. The average external rotation angle when abduction was 90° was 68.4° ± 13.6° and 88.5° ± 6.2° preoperatively and at the last follow-up evaluation, respectively. The mean Rowe scores preoperatively and at the last follow-up evaluation were 32.6 ± 3.2 and 95.2 ± 2.2, respectively (P < 0.05). The mean Constant scores preoperatively and at the last follow-up evaluation were 75.4 ± 3.5 and 95.8 ± 3.3, respectively (P < 0.05). No postoperative dislocations were recorded by the end of the follow-up period.
CONCLUSION Arthroscopy with subscapularis upper one-third tenodesis was effective for treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder instability independent of the size of the glenoid bone defect, enhanced anterior stability of the shoulder, and did not affect postoperative range of motion of the affected limb.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze return to sports, functional outcomes, and complications following the Latarjet procedure in competitive athletes younger than 20 years old with a significant glenoid bone loss. METHODS Between 2010 and 2017, 60 competitive athletes younger than 20 years old with a significant glenoid bone loss were operated with the Latarjet procedure. Return to sports, range of motion, and the Rowe and the Athletic Shoulder Outcome Scoring System score were used to assess functional outcomes. Complications and bone consolidation were also evaluated. RESULTS The mean follow-up was 58 months and the mean age was 16.3 years. Overall, 93% were able to return to sports and 84% returned at the same level. The Rowe and Athletic Shoulder Outcome Scoring System scores showed statistical improvement after operation (P < .001). The total complication rate was 22% and the revision rate was 1.6%. The recurrence rate was 3.3%. The bone block healed in 93% of the cases. CONCLUSIONS In competitive athletes younger than 20 years old with a significant glenoid bone loss, the Latarjet procedure resulted in excellent functional outcomes, with most of the patients returning to sports and at the same level they had before injury with a low rate of recurrences. However, this procedure is associated with a significant rate of complications and should preferably be performed by experienced surgeons.

Implant-free iliac crest bone graft procedure shows anatomic remodelling without redislocation in recurrent anterior shoulder instability after short-term follow-up. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2022; 142:1047-1054. [PMID: 33486557 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-021-03777-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2020] [Accepted: 01/06/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION With the help of a J-shaped bicortical iliac crest bone graft, the morphology of the glenoid can be augmented without having to use screws to achieve glenohumeral stability. The aim of this retrospective clinical study was to evaluate the clinical stability and function of the shoulder joint as well as the radiological remodelling process and arthropathic outcomes following the J-bone graft technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS 34 patients with recurrent shoulder dislocations and bony glenoid defects were treated with the J-bone graft technique between 2010 and 2018 at our level-I trauma centre. 15 patients (18 shoulders) could be recruited for the study. Pain levels, ASES, UCLA, SST, DASH, Rowe and WOSI Scores were collected using questionnaires. In 13 patients (16 shoulders) the Constant Score, ROM, CT with 3D reconstruction of the glenoid to assess the graft remodelling and X-rays were performed additionally. RESULTS None of the patients suffered subluxations or recurrent dislocations during the follow-up period. The overall complication rate was 11%. The evaluation using objective and subjective shoulder function scores yielded good-to-excellent results. Radiological assessment at follow-up showed a low rate of moderate-to-severe arthritis (12%) and a high rate of shoulders without any signs of arthritic degeneration (53%). The CT scans all revealed an almost complete restoration of the glenoid with none of the grafts being resorbed. A rise in the average glenoid circumference and glenoid area could be demonstrated between preoperative measurements (81.6 and 82.4%, respectively) and follow-up measurements (104 and 102.5%, respectively). CONCLUSION The results of this study show a successful stabilisation of the shoulder joint and a low complication rate following the J-bone graft technique. Remodelling of the bone graft could be demonstrated, which in turn led to an almost perfect glenoid surface area of 100%.

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
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of arthroscopic Pushlock anchor fixation with iliac creast bone autograft in the treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder instability with critical bone defect. METHODS The clinical data of 80 patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability with critical bone defect treated by arthroscopic Pushlock anchor fixation with iliac creast bone autograft between January 2016 and January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were all male; they were 18-45 years old at the surgery, with an average of 25 years old. The disease duration ranged from 3 months to 5 years, with an average of 2 years. The shoulder joint dislocated 3-50 times, with an average of 8 times. X-ray films, MRI, CT scans and three-dimensional reconstruction of the shoulder were performed before operation. The area of the anterior glenoid defect was 25%-45%, with an average of 27.3%. The shoulder mobility (forward flexion and external rotation in abduction at 90°), the Constant-Murley score, and the Rowe score were used to evaluate the shoulder function before operation and at last follow-up. RESULTS Patients were followed up 1-3 years, with an average of 2 years. No shoulder dislocation occurred again during follow-up. All partial graft absorption occurred after operation, CT scan showed that the graft absorption ratio was less than 30% at 1 week and 3 months after operation. CT three-dimensional reconstruction at 1 year after operation showed that all grafts had healed to the glenoid. The anterior glenoid bone defect was less than 5% (from 0 to 5%, with an average of 3.2%). At last follow-up, the shoulder mobility (forward flexion and external rotation in abduction at 90°), the Constant-Murley score, and the Rowe score significantly improved when compared with preoperative ones ( P<0.05). The shoulder mobility of external rotation in abduction at 90° of the affected side limited when compared with the healthy side [(6.7±5.1)°]. CONCLUSION Arthroscopic Pushlock anchor fixation with iliac creast bone autograft has a good effectiveness in the treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder instability with critical bone defect. The method is relatively simple and the learning curve is short.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While 2 screws are traditionally used for coracoid bone block fixation, no gold standard technique has yet been established when using cortical buttons. PURPOSE To compare anatomic and clinical outcomes of the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure using either 2 or 4 buttons for coracoid bone block fixation. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS A total of 23 patients with 4-button fixation (group 4B) were matched for age at surgery, sex, and follow-up to 46 patients who had 2-button fixation (group 2B). All patients underwent guided arthroscopic Latarjet (using coracoid and glenoid guides), and a tensioning device was used to rigidify the suture button construct and get intraoperative bone block compression. The primary outcome was assessment of bone block positioning and healing using computed tomography scans performed at 2 weeks and at least 6 months after surgery. The mean ± standard deviation follow-up was 49 ± 7 months (range, 24-64 months). RESULTS The bone block healing rate was similar in both groups: 91% in group 4B versus 95.5% in group 2B. The transferred coracoid was flush to the glenoid surface in 21 patients (91%) in group 4B and 44 patients (96%) in group 2B (P = .6); it was under the equator in 22 patients (96%) in group 4B and 44 patients (96%) in group 2B (P≥ .99). There was no secondary bone block displacement; the rate of bone block resorption was similar between the groups: 28% in group 4B and 23% in group 2B (P = .71). Patient-reported outcomes, return to sports, and satisfaction were also similar between the groups. The operating time was significantly longer in group 4B (95 vs 75 minutes; P = .009). CONCLUSION A 4-button fixation technique did not demonstrate any anatomic or clinical advantages when compared with a 2-button fixation technique, while making the procedure more complex and lengthening the operating time by 20 minutes. A 2-button fixation is simple, safe, and sufficient to solidly fix the transferred coracoid bone block. The use of drill guides allows accurate graft placement, while the use of a tensioning device to rigidify the suture button construct provides high rates of bone block healing with both techniques (>90%).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Latarjet coracoid transfer reconstruction is the gold standard for the treatment of recurrent shoulder instability with anterior-inferior glenoid bone loss, and return to sport is often a primary outcome of interest in this patient population. The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of return to sport in patients undergoing the Latarjet procedure and variables that are associated with a higher likelihood of a successful return to sport. METHODS A prospectively maintained institutional registry was retrospectively queried between August 2012 and August 2016 for all patients who underwent the Latarjet procedure. Patients were contacted electronically and via telephone to administer a previously validated and standardized return-to-sport survey. Patients self-reported return to sport, varying sports participation, recurrence of instability, and time to return to sport. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine variables associated with each outcome. RESULTS Of 83 patients, 66 (75.3%) were available for final follow-up, of whom 60 participated in sports prior to surgery and were eligible for inclusion. The average follow-up period was 53.8 ± 11.8 months. The average age at surgery was 26.7 ± 11.3 years, and the average body mass index was 26.2 ± 4.0 kg/m2. There were 54 patients (90%) who were able to return to sport at an average of 8.6 ± 4.1 months following surgery. In total, 36 patients (60%) were able to return to sport at the same level or a better level of intensity, 19 of 28 patients (67.9%) were able to return to throwing sports without difficulty, and 31 of 60 patients (51.7%) reported that their shoulder was a hindrance to some activity. An increased likelihood of returning to sport was associated with increased body mass index (P = .016), male sex (P = .028), and decreased humeral bone loss volume (P = .034). An increased likelihood of returning to sport at the same level or a better level of intensity was associated with reduced humeral bone loss volume (P = .026). Recurrent instability was associated with humeral bone loss (P = .038). CONCLUSION Although a large majority of patients were able to return to sport following the Latarjet procedure, some patients experienced limitation with throwing and return to sport at the preinjury level. Greater humeral bone loss was associated with inferior outcomes. These findings should be discussed with patients in the preoperative setting to manage expectations appropriately.

Abstract
ResumoMuito se discute sobre os limites do tratamento da instabilidade anterior do ombro por artroscopia. O avanço no entendimento das repercussões biomecânicas das lesões bipolares sobre a estabilidade do ombro, bem como na identificação de fatores relacionados ao maior risco de recidiva têm nos ajudado a definir, de forma mais apurada, os limites do reparo por via artroscópica.Ressaltamos a importância de diferenciação entre perda óssea por erosão da glenoide (POAG) e fraturas da borda da glenoide, pois o prognóstico do tratamento diverge entre essas formas de falha óssea da glenoide. Neste contexto, entendemos que há três tipos de falha óssea: a) Bankart ósseo (fratura); b) combinada; e c) POAG, e abordaremos as opções de tratamento sugerido em cada situação.Até há pouco tempo, a escolha do método cirúrgico era norteada basicamente pelo grau de acometimento ósseo. Com a evolução do conhecimento, da biomecânica das lesões bipolares e do conceito do glenoid track (trilho da glenoide), o ponto de corte da lesão crítica, vem sendo alterado com tendência de queda. Além das falhas ou perdas ósseas, outras variáveis foram adicionadas e tornaram a decisão mais complexa, porém um pouco mais objetiva.O presente artigo de atualização tem como objetivo fazer uma breve revisão da anatomia com as principais lesões encontradas na instabilidade; abordar detalhes importantes na técnica cirúrgica artroscópica, em especial nos casos complexos, e trazer as evidências atuais sobre os assuntos de maior divergência, buscando guiar o cirurgião na tomada de decisão.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recurrent shoulder instability is frequently associated with glenohumeral bone loss. Recently there has been a surge of interest in arthroscopically performed bone block procedures. The aim of this systematic review was to determine the clinical and radiological outcomes of arthroscopic glenoid bone block stabilisation for recurrent anterior dislocation. METHODS This systematic review was performed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. The search strategy was applied to MEDLINE and Embase databases on 20th July 2020. Studies reporting either clinical or radiological outcomes following arthroscopic bone block stabilisation for recurrent anterior dislocation were included. Primary outcomes were function and instability scores. Secondary outcomes included recurrent instability, graft union and resorption rates, return to activity/sports, and complications. Pooled analysis was performed when an outcome was uniformly reported by more than one study. Critical appraisal of studies was conducted using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) tool. RESULTS Application of the search strategy resulted in the inclusion of 15 eligible studies; 12 used iliac crest bone graft while 3 used distal tibial allograft. The overall population comprised 265 patients (mean age range, 25.5-37.5 years; 79% of participants were men). All post-operative outcome scores were significantly improved, and the overall rate of recurrent instability was low (weighted mean 6.6%, range 0-18.2%) at mean follow up of 30.4 months. The Rowe score was the most frequently reported outcome measure, improving on average by 53.9 points at final follow-up, exceeding the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) threshold. Graft union rates ranged between 92-100% in 8 out of 10 studies at mean follow up range 6-78.7 months but two reported lower rates ranging from 58.3-84% for autografts and 37.5% for allografts. Graft resorption rates averaged between 10-16% for autografts and 32% for allografts. Hardware-related complications occurred in 2% with the most frequent being screw breakage or symptomatic mechanical irritation. CONCLUSION Arthroscopic bone block stabilisation is associated with high rates of graft union, significant improvements in the WOSI, Rowe, Constant and SSV scores (exceeding MCID thresholds where known), and a low rate of complications, including re-dislocation in the short to mid-term. Graft union rates were high, but the long-term implications of graft resorption (which occurs more frequently with allograft) are unknown. Longer follow-up of these patients and future experimental studies are required to further examine the effects of graft type and fixation methods. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV; systematic review.

Abstract
PURPOSE To establish an international expert consensus, using the modified Delphi technique, on the evaluation and management of glenohumeral instability with associated bone loss. METHODS A working group of 6 individuals generated a list of statements related to history and physical examination, imaging and specialized diagnostic tests, bone loss quantification and classification, treatment outcomes and complications, and rehabilitation for the management of glenohumeral instability associated with bone loss to form the basis of an initial survey for rating by a group of experts. The expert group (composed of 22 high-volume glenohumeral instability experts) was surveyed on 3 occasions to establish a consensus on the statements. Items with over 70% agreement and less than 10% disagreement achieved consensus. RESULTS After a total of 3 rounds, 31 statements achieved consensus. Eighty-six percent of the experts agreed that a history of multiple dislocations and failed soft-tissue surgery should raise suspicion about the possibility of an associated bone deficit. Ninety-five percent of the experts agreed that 3-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) is the most accurate diagnostic method to evaluate and quantify bone loss. Eighty-six percent of the experts agreed that any of the available methods to measure glenoid bone deficiency is adequate; however, 91% of the experts thought that an en face view of the glenoid using 3D CT provides the most accurate method. Ninety-five percent of the experts agreed that Hill-Sachs lesions are poorly quantified and classified by current imaging systems. Ninety percent of the experts agreed that in cases with a glenoid bone deficit greater than 20%, glenoid bone graft reconstruction should be performed and any of the available options is valid. There was no consensus among experts on how Hill-Sachs injuries should be managed or on how postoperative rehabilitation should be carried out. CONCLUSIONS The essential statements on which the experts reached consensus included the following: A history of multiple dislocations and failed soft-tissue surgery should make surgeons consider the possibility of an associated bone deficit. Three-dimensional CT is the most accurate diagnostic method to evaluate and quantify bone loss. Although any of the available methods to measure glenoid bone deficiency is adequate, an en face view of the glenoid using 3D CT provides the most accurate method. Hill-Sachs lesions are poorly quantified and classified by current imaging systems. Finally, in cases with a glenoid bone deficit greater than 20%, glenoid bone graft reconstruction should be performed. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level V, consensus statement.

Abstract
PURPOSE To use computed tomography (CT) to determine a reproducible method of coracoid measurement to compare the ability of the classic Latarjet technique and the congruent arc modification (CAM) to restore native glenoid diameter and to develop a preoperative planning algorithm for glenoid restoration with a goal of achieving an on-track shoulder. METHODS Coracoid dimensions were measured on multiplanar reconstructed shoulder CT scans of patients aged 18 to 45 years obtained between December 1, 2019, and March 13, 2020. Patients were excluded if CT demonstrated osteophyte formation, glenoid dysplasia, coracoid fracture, or tumor. The proportion of glenoid diameter able to be restored using classic Latarjet technique and CAM were calculated. A treatment algorithm was proposed considering the amount of bone loss present and coracoid dimensions. RESULTS Coracoid dimensions of 117 consecutive patients were measured and varied considerably (length: 17.5-31.8 mm, width: 9.1-20.5 mm, thickness: 6.1-15.7 mm). While most patients had harvestable coracoid length ≥20 mm (male: 96.3% vs female: 94.4%, P = .65), only 27.8% of female patients had coracoid thickness ≥10 mm. When comparing Latarjet techniques, there was no difference in the proportion of patients in whom 30% glenoid diameter could be fully restored, but CAM was able to restore at least 35% in more male and female patients (98.8% vs 79.0% and 100% vs 61.1%, respectively, P = .00001). Intra- and inter-rater reliability was excellent ( intraclass correlation coefficient ≥0.950 for all dimensions). CONCLUSIONS We describe a reliable method of measuring coracoid dimensions for preoperative planning of glenoid restoration. The classic Latarjet technique reliably restores the glenoid anteroposterior diameter with bone loss of up to 30%. The majority of female patients have coracoid thickness <10 mm, which may increase the risk of graft fracture when using CAM. The decision to use the classic Latarjet technique or CAM considers each individual's glenoid and coracoid dimensions with a goal of achieving an on-track shoulder. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Our reliable method of coracoid measurement demonstrated the differing abilities of the classic Latarjet and CAM to restore the native glenoid diameter. An evidence-based algorithm using these measurements was developed to assist in preoperative planning for glenohumeral instability in the setting of bone loss, with a goal of achieving an on-track shoulder. Alternative techniques may be considered if an on-track shoulder cannot be achieved with Latarjet.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review of modern literature data on the modern approaches in diagnosis and treatment of shoulder instability. MATERIAL AND METHODS Searching for literature data was performed using the Pubmed and Google Scholar databases. RESULTS The authors analyzed the results of conservative treatment of patients with shoulder instability and emphasized higher risk of instability recurrence, degeneration of anatomical structures and functional impairment in these patients. Surgery is advisable to restore shoulder stability and normalize its function. Several methods for stabilizing the shoulder have been proposed. The approaches to diagnosis and treatment of shoulder instability have been updated. CONCLUSION Successful treatment of shoulder instability is based on qualitative and complete assessment of soft tissues and bone structures. An individual approach considering bone tissue deficiency and individual needs of the patient is required.

Abstract
The congruent-arc Latarjet (CAL) allows reconstruction of a greater percentage of glenoid bone deficit because the inferior surface of the coracoid is wider than the lateral edge of the coracoid used with the traditional Latarjet (TL). Biomechanical studies have shown higher initial fixation strength between the graft and the glenoid with the TL. In the TL, the undersurface of the coracoid, which is wider than the medial edge used with the CAL, remains in contact with the anterior edge of the glenoid, increasing the contact surface between both bones and thus facilitating bone consolidation. The shorter bone distance around the screw with the CAL is potentially less tolerant of screw-positioning error compared to the TL. Moreover, the wall of the screw tunnel is potentially more likely to fracture with the CAL due to the minimal space between the screw and the graft wall. CAL may be very difficult to perform in patients with very small coracoids such as small women or skeletally immature patients. Radius of curvature of the inferior face of the coracoid graft (used with the CAL) is similar to that of the native glenoid. This may potentially decrease contact pressure across the glenohumeral joint, avoiding degenerative changes in the long term.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The all-arthroscopic anatomic glenoid reconstruction technique using a distal tibial allograft avoids damage to the subscapularis muscle and allows repair of the capsulolabral tissue. PURPOSE To analyze the clinicoradiologic outcomes of patients who underwent this procedure to treat anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss with a minimum 2-year follow-up. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS Over 6 years, 73 patients (52 male and 21 female; mean age, 28.8 years) under the care of the same surgeon underwent arthroscopic stabilization with capsulolabral Bankart repair and bony allograft augmentation of the glenoid for recurrent shoulder instability with significant bone loss. Pre- and postoperative patient-reported functional assessment was performed using 2 questionnaires, the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand, and radiological assessment was performed using radiographs and computed tomography scans obtained preoperatively and approximately 1 year later (mean ± SD, 0.9 ± 1.1 years). RESULTS The mean follow-up was 4.7 ± 1.1 years. The mean pre- and postoperative WOSI scores were 71.1 ± 17.5 and 25.6 ± 21.9, respectively (P < .001). There were no recurrences of dislocation, although 1 patient had symptoms of subluxation; however, 5 patients had hardware complications that required screw removal. There were no cases of nerve injury. Postoperative computed tomography scans were available for 66 patients. Seven patients were lost to follow-up. The graft union rate was 100%. Overall, graft resorption was <50% in 86% of patients (57/66). Eighteen patients (27%) had no resorption (grade 0), 39 (59%) had <50% (grades 1 and 2), and 9 (14%) had ≥50% (grade 3); however, none had symptoms of instability. The mean alpha angle of the screw between the screw shaft axis and the native glenoid axis was 18.3°± 5.7°. Graft positioning was flush with the glenoid in 61 of 66 patients (92.4%), and vertical positioning was excellent in 64 of 66 patients (97.0%) (3- to 5-o'clock position). CONCLUSION Arthroscopic stabilization using distal tibial allograft augmentation resulted in excellent clinicoradiologic outcomes at a 2-year follow-up. This procedure has the advantages of being an anatomic reconstruction that addresses bony and soft tissue instability. However, long-term follow-up studies are necessary for better assessment of outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the return-to-sport rate, functional outcomes, and complications of the "classic Latarjet" surgery with those of the "congruent arc Latarjet" surgery in athletes with recurrent glenohumeral instability and failed previous stabilization procedures. METHODS All the included patients were operated between May 2009 and April 2017. The inclusion criteria were athletes with recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability, a glenoid bone defect greater than 20%, at least 1 previous failed stabilization surgery operated with the classic or the congruent-arc Latarjet procedures, and a minimum 2 years of follow-up. Return to sports, range of motion (ROM), the Rowe score, a visual analog scale for pain, and the Athletic Shoulder Outcome Scoring System score were used to assess functional outcomes. Complications were also evaluated. RESULTS A total of 135 athletes were included in the study (55 patients were operated with the classic technique and 80 with the congruent arc technique). The mean follow-up was 40.3 months (range, 24-88 months) and the mean age was 26.5 years (range, 18-45 years). Overall, 87% were able to return to sports and 92% returned at the same level. No significant difference regarding return to sports was found between the groups. No significant difference in shoulder ROM was found between preoperative and postoperative results. The Rowe, visual analog scale, and Athletic Shoulder Outcome Scoring System scores showed statistical improvement after operation (P < .001). No significant difference in shoulder ROM and functional scores was found between patients operated with the classic and congruent arc procedures. There were 6 recurrences (4%). There was no significant difference in the recurrence rate between groups. The bone block healed in 92% of the cases. CONCLUSIONS In athletes with recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability and a failed previous operative repair, the Latarjet procedure produced excellent functional outcomes and most athletes returned to sport at their preinjury level with a very low rate of recurrences, regardless of whether the Latarjet was performed with the classic or with the congruent arc technique. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Retrospective comparative study; Level of evidence, 3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A number of clinical trials have been published assessing the role of iliac crest bone grafting for the management of recurrent anterior instability with glenoid bone loss in contemporary practice. We therefore performed a systematic review of contemporary literature to examine the effect of iliac crest bone grafting on postoperative outcomes of these patients. Our hypothesis is that contemporary iliac crest bone block techniques are associated with low reoperation and complication rates combined with satisfactory functional results. METHODS The US National Library of Medicine (PubMed/MEDLINE), the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and EMBASE were searched between January 2008 and December 2019 for relevant publications. RESULTS Following the application of the inclusion-exclusion criteria, nine articles were found eligible for our analysis. In total, 261 patients (mean age range, 25.5-37.5 years; mean follow-up range, 20.6-42 months) were included in the studies of the current review. The mean modified Coleman score was 48.6 (range 37-65), indicating an overall low-to-moderate methodological quality. In the short term, the overall all-cause reoperation rate was 6.1%, while the rate of recurrent instability was 4.8%. The graft non-union rate was 2.2%, while the rate of osteolysis, graft fracture, and infection was 0.4%, 0.9%, and 1.7%, respectively. Finally, hardware-related complications, such as screw breakage or symptomatic mechanical irritation around the screw insertion, occurred in 3.9% of the patients. CONCLUSIONS Iliac crest bone block techniques in contemporary practice are safe and effective in the short-term (< 4 years) follow-up for the management of anterior shoulder instability with substantial glenoid bone deficiency. However, further studies of higher quality and longer follow-up are required to establish the therapeutic value of these techniques as well as to clarify whether there are differences in the outcomes of arthroscopic and open iliac crest bone block procedures.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the clinical outcomes after osteochondral allograft transplantation for large Hill-Sachs lesions. METHODS Patients who underwent osteochondral allograft transplantation for large Hill-Sachs lesions were identified. Clinical assessment consisted of active range of motion (ROM), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (ASES), Constant-Murley score, Rowe score, and patient satisfaction rate. Radiographic assessment was performed with CT scan. RESULTS Nineteen patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 21.7 years. The mean preoperative size of the Hill-Sachs lesion was 35.70 ± 3.02%. The mean follow-up was 27.8 months. All grafts achieved union at an average of 3.47 months after surgery. At the final follow-up, graft resorption was observed in 43.1% of patients. The average size of residual humeral head articular arc loss was 12.31 ± 2.79%. Significant improvements (P < .001) were observed for the active ROM, ASES score, Constant-Murley score, and Rowe score. The overall satisfaction rate was 94.7%. No significant difference was found between the resorption group and the nonresorption group in postoperative clinical outcomes. CONCLUSION Osteochondral allograft transplantation is a useful treatment option for patients with large Hill-Sachs lesions. Although the incidence of graft resorption may be relatively high, the clinical outcomes at a minimum 2-year follow-up are favorable. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, case series.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article summarises the latest innovations and concepts in the management of shoulder instability associated with glenoid bone loss. RECENT FINDINGS The management of shoulder instability has undergone significant evolution in the last century with rapid strides being made in the last few decades due to the transition from open to arthroscopic techniques allowing management of pathological entities which were previously untreatable. However, there is no consensus on treatment methods, especially in the presence of glenoid bone loss. The complication profile associated with non-anatomic glenoid bony reconstruction procedures has triggered research for alternate techniques using free bone grafts. Open Latarjet procedure continues to be the gold standard in the face of glenoid bone loss; however, arthroscopic anatomic glenoid reconstruction with bone block grafts is gaining in popularity and is associated with excellent short-term clinico-radiologic outcomes. Arthroscopic anatomic glenoid reconstruction using bone grafts has been proposed as an alternative to the complex all-arthroscopic Latarjet procedure with excellent short-term results, minimal complications and a relatively easier learning curve. Capsular reconstruction has emerged as option for the management of instability with poor quality or absent capsular tissue. Future long-term outcome studies and randomised comparative trials will determine if these innovations stand the test of time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anterior glenohumeral instability with >20% glenoid bone loss is a disorder that can be treated with the Latarjet stabilizing procedure; however, complications are common. The purposes of this study were to (1) evaluate the effect of an anatomic-specific titanium implant produced by 3-dimensional (3D) printing as a treatment option for recurrent shoulder instability with substantial glenoid bone loss and (2) compare the use of that implant with the Latarjet procedure. METHODS Ten fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders (mean age at the time of death, 78 years) were tested in a biomechanical setup with the humerus in 30° of abduction and in neutral rotation. The shoulders were tested under 5 different conditions: (1) normal situation, (2) creation of an anterior glenoid defect, (3) implantation of an anatomic-specific titanium implant produced by 3D printing, and the Latarjet procedure (4) with and (5) without 10 N of load attached to the conjoined tendon. In each condition, the humerus was translated 10 mm anteriorly relative to the glenoid, and the maximum peak translational force that was necessary for this translation was measured. RESULTS After creation of the glenoid defect, the mean translational peak force decreased by 30% ± 6% compared with that for the normal shoulder. After restoration of the original glenoid anatomy, the translational force needed to dislocate the humeral head from the glenoid significantly increased compared with that in the defect condition-to 119% ± 16% of normal (p < 0.01) with the 3D-printed anatomic-specific implant and to 121% ± 48% of normal (p < 0.01) following the Latarjet procedure. No significant differences in mean translational force were found between the anatomic-specific implant and the Latarjet procedure (p = 0.72). CONCLUSIONS The mean translational peak force needed to dislocate the humerus 10 mm anteriorly on the glenoid was higher after glenoid restoration with the 3D-printed anatomic-specific implant compared with when the glenoid had a 20% surface defect but also compared with when the glenoid was intact. No differences in mean translational peak force were found between the 3D-printed anatomic-specific glenoid implant and the Latarjet procedure, although there was less variability in the 3D-implant condition. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Novel 3D-printing technology could provide a reliable patient-specific alternative to solve problems related to traditional treatment methods for shoulder instability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Latarjet procedure is the preferred method to treat recurrent anterior shoulder instability with glenoid deficiency. An iatrogenic fracture of the transferred coracoid process is one possible intraoperative complication. METHODS We propose a rescue technique using double-row suture bridge fixation. Double-loaded 4.5-mm suture anchors were placed medially in the scapular neck. These sutures were then brought over the top of the coracoid fragment, placed around the bony fragment, and fixated to the glenoid face with knotless suture anchors. RESULTS Radiologic evidence of bone graft healing was observed in the desired position. CONCLUSIONS We present a salvage procedure that will assist surgeons if an intraoperative fracture of the coracoid bone graft occurs during fixation when performing the Latarjet procedure.

Abstract
The high recurrence rates seen in open and arthroscopic Bankart repair in the presence of significant glenoid bone loss, Hill-Sachs lesions, or combined bony deficiencies have led many surgeons to choose bony reconstructions to manage these injuries. Although the Latarjet procedure has proved to be reliable to manage recurrent anterior shoulder instability, there have been concerns of a higher surgical complication rate associated with this procedure. Moreover, some of the complications reported with this procedure such as symptomatic implants, fracture or nonunion of the coracoid graft, and recurrence of instability could need a revision surgery to be solved. The autologous tricortical iliac bone graft is an excellent option for failed bony reconstructions. However, as with any successful surgery, each step requires planning and precise application to limit risks and avoid pitfalls. This Technical Note provides a detailed description of the autologous tricortical iliac bone graft for failed Latarjet procedures.

Mid-term clinical results of an arthroscopic glenoid rim reconstruction technique for recurrent anterior shoulder instability. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2018; 138:1557-1562. [PMID: 29948225 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-018-2964-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2017] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Glenoid bone loss in recurrent anterior instability of the shoulder needs to be addressed to restore joint stability. Over the last years, several arthroscopic methods have been described to treat this condition. However, no clinical mid-term results have been presented for arthroscopic iliac crest bone grafting procedures. METHODS We included 32 patients with significant glenoid bone loss and repetitive dislocations of the shoulder who were treated in our shoulder unit with a previously described all-arthroscopic reconstruction technique. All patients filled out a questionnaire evaluating repetitive dislocations, consumption of pain medicine, Constant Score (CS, adapted to age and gender), activities of daily living (ADL), visual analogue scale for pain (VAS) as well as the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI). Additionally, all complications were recorded. RESULTS After a mean follow-up of 42 months, three traumatic dislocations had been observed. With an ADL of 25 points (95% CI 24-27), a WOSI of 71% (95% CI 65-76) and CS of 87 points (95% CI 82-92), our patients showed good functional results. The VAS result for pain was 2.1 (95% CI 1.5-2.6). No patient reported the regular usage of pain medicine related to the shoulder instability at final follow-up. CONCLUSION The all-arthroscopic glenoid reconstruction using iliac crest grafts shows good functional results with a recurrence rate of 9%. At final follow-up 42 months after surgery, our patients showed low pain levels and acceptable complications.
