Glenoid bone loss is a recognized risk for recurrent instability. Open J-graft augmentation has been reported as a well-established procedure for anterior shoulder instability. Few data are available on arthroscopic techniques for the repair of bony Bankart lesions. We describe an all-arthroscopic implant-free iliac crest bone grafting technique and present the case of a 32-year-old hockey player who underwent glenoid reconstruction using this novel arthroscopic repair technique after 2 failed soft-tissue procedures. After 13 months, the patient reached nearly full range of motion with a slight loss of external rotation. The computed tomography scan showed a restoration of the glenoid cavity and complete healing of the graft.
