Abstract:
Labral tears resulting in 270° near-circumferential pathology predispose patients to recurrent instability and are technically challenging to repair. Furthermore, when such lesions are associated with Hill-Sachs lesions, recurrent instability risk is significantly increased and can result in substantially lower clinical outcomes. When determining a surgical treatment algorithm for shoulder stabilization, it is important to consider both humeral- and glenoid-sided pathology because subtle defects can have significant influence on recurrence and patient reported outcomes. In this Technical Note and accompanying video, we discuss our surgical technique for knotless arthroscopic stabilization for a 270° labral tear with concurrent remplissage in the setting of recurrent shoulder instability.
