We examined both a parallel and a cross technique in comparison with operations not using block suture. Of the 44 eyes that underwent surgery without block suture, aqueous leakage occurred in 4 eyes (9.0%). Of 51 eyes that underwent the parallel technique, 1 eye (2.0%) leaked from the limbus incision. In contrast, leaks were not detected in any of the 58 eyes that underwent the cross technique.

Background: Iatrogenic suprascapular nerve injury secondary to posterior drilling or screw penetration is a recognized complication of bone block or coracoid process transfers for anterior glenohumeral instability. We present the first cadaveric study that assesses the safety of posteroanterior reference guides and quantifies the relationship of the suprascapular nerve to posterior glenoid fixation with suture buttons.

Methods: Anterior glenoid bone block reconstruction with suture buttons utilizing a posteroanterior reference guide was performed in 10 fresh frozen cadavers via a posterior portal.
