Anatomic Osteochondral Allograft Reconstruction for Concomitant Large Hill-Sachs and Reverse Hill-Sachs Lesions.

Glenohumeral instability causing bipolar bone loss is increasingly being recognized and treated to minimize recurrence. Large Hill-Sachs and reverse Hill-Sachs lesions of the humerus must be addressed at the time of surgery to prevent recurrent dislocations and restore the native anatomic track. For patients with epilepsy, locked dislocations may create defects that must be addressed with bony procedures, including osteochondral allograft reconstruction as soft-tissue remplissage may not adequately addresses the magnitude of the bone loss. Osteochondral allografts have been successfully used to address bony defects ranging from 20% to 30% of humeral bone loss whereas shoulder arthroplasty is indicated for larger defects where the native anatomy can no longer be restored. In this Technical Note, we present a technique to address concomitant large Hill-Sachs and reverse Hill-Sachs lesions.
