background:   to assess the outcome of the remplissage arthroscopic surgical method in patients with anterior shoulder dislocation associated with hill-sachs lesion.     methods:   ten patients with anterior shoulder dislocations and hill-sachs lesions were entered into this study and were operated on by the remplissage arthroscopic surgical method. they were followed up 22 months after surgery...

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...

OBJECTIVE To provide data for the analysis of arthroscopy as a method of surgical treatment for shoulder and discuss its actual indications and preliminary results. METHODS We evaluated 15 patients submitted to reverse Bankart arthroscopic surgery. We used the UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles) score to measure the results before surgery and 12 months thereafter. RESULTS The ave...

The optimum management for recurrent glenohumeral instability with significant humeral head defects remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes and recurrence rates between patients who underwent osteochondral substitute grafting and patients who underwent remplissage to treat recurrent shoulder instability from an engaging Hill-Sachs defect with a Bankart lesion. T...

BACKGROUND Acute Hill-Sachs reduction represents a potential alternative method to remplissage for the treatment of an engaging Hill-Sachs lesion. This study biomechanically compared the stabilizing effects of an acute Hill-Sachs reduction technique and remplissage. METHODS Six cadaveric shoulders were tested. For the acute Hill-Sachs lesion, a unique model was used to create a 30% defect, co...

INTRODUCTION: Recently, the Remplissage procedure, which involves insetting the infraspinatus tendon and posterior joint capsule into an engaging HillSachs lesion has begun to gain popularity. Due to the relative infancy of this technique, a standardized procedure for suture anchor and suture placement has not been defined. Therefore, the purpose of this biomechanical study was to compare three...

BACKGROUND In addition to Bankart repair engaging Hill-Sachs defects in glenohumeral instability have been treated successfully with remplissage procedure. The purpose of this study was to compare three remplissage techniques regarding (I) ability of preventing Hill-Sachs defect from engaging, (II) influence on glenohumeral rotational torque, and (III) resulting tendon coverage over the Hill-Sa...

BACKGROUND To assess the outcome of the remplissage arthroscopic surgical method in patients with anterior shoulder dislocation associated with Hill-Sachs lesion. METHODS Ten patients with anterior shoulder dislocations and Hill-Sachs lesions were entered into this study and were operated on by the remplissage arthroscopic surgical method. They were followed up 22 months after surgery in orde...

BACKGROUND Recent data suggest that inaccurate suture passage during remplissage may contribute to a loss of external rotation, with the potential to cause posterior shoulder pain because of the proximity to the musculotendinous junction. PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of suture passage during remplissage and identify surface landmarks to improve accuracy. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive laborat...
