APEX Advanced Shoulder Arthroscopy-Online Didactic (August 2021)-Posterior Bony Augmentation: Graft Choices and Technique

Posterior Bony Augmentation: Graft Choices and Technique

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript is a presentation by John Dickens, Chief of Orthopedic Sports Medicine at Walter Reed, on arthroscopic posterior glenoid reconstruction. He discusses the prevalence of arthroscopic posterior instability and the failure of non-operative management. He highlights the success of arthroscopic posterior capsule labral repair but notes that some patients have posterior glenoid bone loss, which is often not recognized. He presents a case example and explains the surgical technique using a distal tibia allograft. He concludes that while posterior glenoid bone loss is common, its treatment with osseous augmentation is currently only recommended for revision cases with significant bone loss. No credits are mentioned in the transcript.
