Abstract:
Traumatic anterior dislocation of the glenohumeral joint is frequently associated with osseous injury, including glenoid bone loss and impaction fractures of the posterosuperior humeral head (Hill-Sachs lesion). Recognition of osseous defects is critical to preserve the balance of static and dynamic forces that maintain shoulder stability. Failure to recognize and adequately treat bone loss can lead to recurrent instability and poor clinical outcomes. This chapter focuses on a combined arthroscopic and open technique to specifically address bipolar bone loss of the glenoid and humeral head to reduce the risk of recurrent instability and improve postoperative outcomes.
