Abstract
- PURPOSE
We wanted to review the arthroscopic Remplissage technique and introduce our experiences with it for treating recurrent shoulder instability with a large Hill-Sachs lesion.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The arthroscopic Remplissage technique with Bankart repair is performed in patients with no osteoarthritis, no fracture around the shoulder, a history of recurrence more than 10 times, a large Hill-Sachs lesion more than 30 to 40% of the humeral articular surface and glenoid bone loss less than 20%.
RESULTS
AND CONCLUSION: For recurrent shoulder instability with a large Hill-Sachs lesion, the Remplissage technique resulted in a good outcome for the shoulder stability, and good clinical and functional results.
