Abstract:
Glenohumeral arthrodesis is an end-stage salvage operation that has traditionally been performed in an open fashion. In recent years an arthroscopic approach has been described. The purpose of this report was to present an arthroscopic glenohumeral arthrodesis technique with the assistance of O-arm-based navigation. An illustrative case example is presented. This technique allows not only a minimally invasive glenohumeral arthrodesis but also precise screw fixation by navigation, which may be particularly useful in cases of limited bone stock and/or bony deformity.
