Article Synopsis
- This study explores the impact of prior dislocations on the recurrence of shoulder instability after arthroscopic stabilization, particularly in patients without significant glenoid bone loss.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis of 35 studies involving 7,995 shoulders showed low rates of post-surgery instability (9.8% in first-time dislocators and 9.1% in recurrent dislocators).
- The results indicate that modern arthroscopic techniques provide a low risk of recurrence for anterior shoulder dislocations, with no major difference in outcomes between first-time and recurrent dislocators.
Background: The hypothesis is that the scapula spine can provide a graft of suitable dimensions for use in cases of shoulder instability with critical bone loss. We aimed to investigate its utility with grafts of differing sizes.
Methods: The scapula spine was measured on computed tomography scans of 50 patients who had undergone anterior stabilization.
Aims: Glenoid bone loss is a significant problem in the management of shoulder instability. The threshold at which the bone loss is considered "critical" requiring bony reconstruction has steadily dropped and is now approximately 15%. This necessitates accurate measurement in order that the correct operation is performed.

The technique presented here uses an additional third-row anchor, in a tripod fashion, that reduces the forces on the lateral humerus anchors and protects the repair.
