All-Arthroscopic, 270° Reconstruction of the Inferior Glenohumeral Ligament With Palmaris Longus Autograft.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Numerous factors play a role in anterior shoulder stability. The inferior glenohumeral ligament, especially the anterior band, is the main passive anterior stabilizer in the end range of motion. Surgical treatment of this pathology continues to be a challenge in patients with capsular deficiency, in whom the recurrence rate of soft-tissue arthroscopic repair increases significantly. There is not yet a fair solution for these patients without glenoid bone loss, in whom the poor tissue quality determines recurrent instability. We present an all-arthroscopic technique for reconstruction of the inferior glenohumeral ligament by means of palmaris longus autograft as an alternative to nonanatomic bone block procedures.
