Navigating the Failed Latarjet: Revision Arthroscopic Anatomic Glenoid Reconstruction with Distal Tibial Allograft

Bezawit Teferi Tsegaye, Hannah Gombar, Noah Karabanow, Ivan Wong

Background:

Bone block reconstruction of the glenoid has proven to be effective in the primary and revision treatment of shoulder instability with significant bone loss. We present a reproducible and safe technique for arthroscopic anatomic glenoid reconstruction using a distal tibial allograft for revision of failed soft-tissue Bankart repair and open Latarjet.

Indications:

Arthroscopic anatomic glenoid reconstruction is indicated for recurrent shoulder dislocation and pain associated with significant bone loss after a failed index procedure to reconstruct the glenoid and capsulolabral tissue.

Technique Description:

The technique we present explains a reproducible method to reconstruct the glenoid with an allograft bone block with inferior-to-superior capsular shift and remplissage. This technique will recreate the glenoid diameter and concavity while augmenting the soft tissue.

Results:

Our patient has achieved a satisfactory midterm clinical outcome with notable improvement in shoulder function and stability. Importantly, no intraoperative or postoperative complications were recorded throughout the course of treatment.

Discussion/Conclusion:

Arthroscopic anatomic glenoid reconstruction is a safe revision option for a failed Latarjet surgery.
