Arthroscopic Parallel Double-Pulley Iliac Crest Bone Graft Fixation for Anterior Glenoid Reconstruction

Abstract

Glenoid bone defect is one major contributor to anterior shoulder instability. Numerous procedures have been developed for anterior glenoid reconstruction, such as the Eden-Hybinette procedure and the Latarjet-Bristow procedure, as well as various techniques for graft fixation, including screw, endobutton, and anchor fixation. However, these methods can be instrumentally and technically complex. This Technical Note introduces a arthroscopic technique using double-row suture anchors and parallel double-pulley to fix iliac crest bone grafts for anterior glenoid reconstruction, which enables convenient and quick fixation of the bone graft without requirement of any specialized instruments or consumables.
