Recurrent glenohumeral instability is challenging to treat when large bony defects are present in the anterior glenoid and there is a large Hill-Sachs lesion. We present a case with extensive glenoid and humeral bone loss treated with open Latarjet procedure combined with posterior arthroscopic Remplissage. 3.5 years after surgery, there have been no dislocations or any subjective signs of instability. After half a year, the patient was able to return to work as an airline pilot. Constant score has improved from 33 to 74 and the Oxford instability score from 8 to 46. We find that in young patients with difficult instability combining the Latarjet and Remplissage is a good and replicable method.

Background: Traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation is the most common type of joint dislocation, with an incidence of 11 to 29 per 100 000 persons per year. Controversy still surrounds the recommendations for treatment and the available procedures for surgical stabilization.

Methods: This review is based on pertinent publications (2014-2024) that were retrieved by a selective search in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases.

Background: Despite the effectiveness of remplissage in reducing instability recurrence, debate remains about the loss of external rotation (ER) after this procedure.

Purpose: To compare the loss of ER after primary isolated arthroscopic Bankart repair alone (BR), Bankart with remplissage (REMP), and Latarjet (LAT) procedures.

Study Design: Meta-analysis; Level of evidence, 3.

Introduction: Recurrent shoulder dislocations often cause attrition of the labrum and progressive loss of the anterior bony contour of the glenoid. Treatment options for this pathology involve either soft tissue repair or bony augmentation procedure. The optimal management for patients with shoulder instability with subcritical bone loss remains unknown and current clinical practice is highly varied.

Article Synopsis
  • The shoulder is a highly mobile joint, making it prone to dislocation, with immediate closed reduction as the primary treatment for acute dislocations.
  • This systematic review analyzed eight studies from 2018 to 2023 on Arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) for anterior shoulder instability, involving 398 patients aged 15 to 55.
  • Findings indicated that ABR significantly reduces recurrence rates, leads to fewer complications, and supports a higher return-to-sport rate when compared to other treatments like Latarjet and remplissage.

Article Synopsis
  • Anterior shoulder instability involves excessive movement of the humeral head in the shoulder joint, causing symptoms like discomfort and potential dislocations.
  • Accurate diagnosis requires a detailed history, physical examination, and imaging to assess the instability's severity.
  • Treatment options range from conservative methods to various surgical repairs, with choices depending on factors such as the patient's anatomy, severity of instability, and personal recovery goals.
