Arthroscopic Glenoid Reconstruction, Bone Blocks and Transfers in the Management of Complex Shoulder Instability With Bone Loss: Advanced Concepts and Surgical Techniques: Interactive and Case -Based (AANA22)-Instability Cases...A Family Affair

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a group of orthopedic surgeons discuss and present two cases of shoulder instability. The first case is an 18-year-old male who experienced recurring traumatic dislocations in his left shoulder. Despite non-operative management, he eventually required surgery. The surgeons debate the appropriate course of action, considering factors such as the patient's activity level, range of motion, and imaging results. Ultimately, they decide to perform an arthroscopic repair with a six-stitch, three-anchor technique. However, the patient is non-compliant with post-operative care and subsequently dislocates his shoulder again. The second case involves the younger brother of the first patient, who also presents with a shoulder injury. The surgeons discuss the options for surgical treatment, considering the patient's athletic endeavors and the potential for a Later-Jay procedure. Ultimately, they stress the importance of shared decision-making and the need for longer-term data on the effectiveness of different treatment options.
