Current Concepts in 2025: Shoulder Bone Blocks What You Cannot Miss

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The 2025 shoulder bone block session highlights evolving concepts in managing glenoid bone loss. Key points include refining measurement techniques to accurately assess bone loss size, understanding graft remodeling versus resorption, and evaluating different graft types such as iliac crest, distal tibial allograft, distal clavicle, and scapular spine. Fixation methods vary, with screws, buttons, and sutures showing differing outcomes, especially concerning redislocations. Emphasis is on standardizing measurements and improving fixation safety. Treatment for humeral lesions like Hill-Sachs defects also remains critical. Overall, ongoing research aims to optimize graft selection, fixation, and long-term stability for shoulder stabilization.
