Arthroscopic Iliac Crest Bone Graft Augmentation Using All-Suture Anchors for Shoulder Instability Caused by Glenoid Bone Loss

Augmentation of the anterior glenoid with bone graft is an established treatment for recurrent anterior instability due to critical glenoid bone loss. Both open and arthroscopic techniques have been described. Fixation with metal screws through an open approach is the most common technique, but the risk of metal screwerelated complications remains a concern. A variety of arthroscopic techniques using suspensory fixation or suture anchors have been described in the literature. However, they all require a posterior incision to insert a targeting device or to manage sutures. We describe a technique for arthroscopic bone grafting of the anterior glenoid via a purely anterior approach with 2 linked knotless suture anchors, thereby avoiding posterior suture management and glenoid metalwork complications.
