Arthroscopic remplissage

Anatomical and functional results after arthroscopic Hill-Sachs remplissage.

BACKGROUND Large osseous defects of the posterosuperior aspect of the humeral head can engage the glenoid rim and cause recurrent instability after arthroscopic Bankart repair for glenohumeral dislocation. Filling of the humeral head defect with the posterior aspect of the capsule and the infraspinatus tendon (i.e., Hill-Sachs remplissage) has recently been proposed as an additional arthroscopi...

Combined arthroscopic Bankart repair and remplissage for recurrent shoulder instability.

PURPOSE The objective of our study was to summarize the available clinical evidence pertaining to the combined arthroscopic Bankart repair and remplissage procedure (BRR) for the management of recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability. METHODS We searched Medline (1946 to the third week of November, 2012), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase (1947 to the 50th week of ...

Clinical Outcome of Arthroscopic Remplissage as Augmentation During Arthroscopic Bankart Repair for Recurrent Anterior Shoulder Instability

Purpose We aimed to assess functional outcomes and postoperative recurrence rate associated with the remplissage procedure used for bone augmentation with Bankart repair in patients with Hill-Sachs lesions after shoulder dislocation. Methods Preoperative computed tomography was performed to check for bony Bankart lesions,calculate the bone defect rate, and estimate the risk for re-dislocation...

The "Safe Zone" Technique Improves Suture Placement and Accuracy During Arthroscopic Remplissage.

In response to recent concerns about the accuracy of suture passage during arthroscopic remplissage, this study was conducted to determine whether a previously described "safe zone" technique can improve the accuracy of suture passage. A recommended safe zone technique was used for arthroscopic remplissage on 6 cadaveric specimens. The safe zone was described as a region at least 1 cm lateral a...
