Editorial Commentary: Buttoning Up After Recurrent Anterior Shoulder Instability: The Eden-Hybinette Procedure Is an Effective Salvage After Failed Latarjet.

Operative management of anterior glenohumeral dislocation can confer significant improvements in subjective shoulder function, pain, and overall stability. Although the coracoid-based Latarjet procedure has long been considered the ultimate treatment for complex anterior shoulder instability with glenoid or bipolar bone loss, few authors have considered the unimaginable question: what do you do when a patient fails Latarjet? A modified arthroscopic technique of the Eden-Hybinette procedure allows for revision anterior glenoid augmentation of critical glenoid bone loss with autologous tricortical iliac crest, while suture button fixation may obviate hardware complications previously seen with bicortical screw fixation. Although distal tibial allograft provides excellent congruity, viable articular cartilage, and no harvest site morbidity, financial costs and graft availability must also be considered. With favorable patient-reported outcomes, excellent rates of radiographic union, and reliable return to sport, the Eden-Hybinette procedure with suture button-based construct offers a viable alternative for patients with advanced glenoid bone loss (>20%) or revision scenarios.
