Humeral Head Osteochondral Allograft Reconstruction with Arthroscopic Anterior Shoulder Stabilization at a Long-Term Follow-Up: A Case Report

JBJS Case Connect. 2020 Apr-Jun;10(2):e0555. doi: 10.2106/JBJS.CC.19.00555.

Abstract

Case: The authors report a case of recurrent anterior shoulder instability in a 19-year-old man. Intraoperative arthroscopic examination identified Bankart and engaging Hill-Sachs lesions. The patient was treated with humeral head osteochondral allograft reconstruction and concomitant arthroscopic anterior stabilization. At the 14-year follow-up, there was no recurrent instability.

Conclusion: Humeral head osteochondral allograft reconstruction combined with an arthroscopic anterior stabilization procedure can be successful for recurrent shoulder instability and engaging Hill-Sachs lesion.
