The shoulder remplissage procedure for Hill-Sachs defects: does technique matter?

Background: This biomechanical study evaluated the effects of 3 remplissage techniques on shoulder stability and motion in a Hill-Sachs (HS) instability model.

Materials And Methods: Cadaveric forequarters were tested on an active shoulder simulator. Three remplissage techniques were performed for 15% and 30% HS defects.
