Posterior Stabilization and Reverse Hill‐Sachs Remplissage Using Linked Knotless Anchors

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Posterior glenohumeral dislocation can result in impaction fractures to the anteromedial humeral head, known as a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion. They may also cause damage to the posterior capsuloligamentous structures. This can lead to ongoing posterior instability and altered biomechanics resulting in early degenerative changes. Ongoing symptoms may result in challenges to a patient's day-to-day and sporting activities. Early intervention to stabilize the shoulder may help avoid these. We present a reproducible technique for posterior stabilization using linked knotless anchors to perform a remplissage of the subscapularis into the reverse Hill-Sachs lesion defect that avoids the need for exposure of the subcoracoid bursa.
