METHOD OF GLENOHUMERAL INSTABILITY REPAIR

摘要

Methods for arthroscopic bone graft for anterior inferior glenohumeral instability repair are disclosed. The method includes providing a bone graft not attached to soft tissue. Respective passageways are formed through the bone graft and a patient's glenoid. A first implant is further provided, where the first implant is secured to a first end of a suture. The first implant is positioned on the cortical side of the bone graft and the cancellous surface of the bone graft is urged into contact with the anterior surface of the glenoid. A second implant is provided, including an eyelet extending there through. The second end of the suture is inserted through the eyelet of the second implant. The second implant is further placed in contact with the posterior surface of the glenoid. Subsequently, the second end of the suture is secured to the second implant.

1. A method of glenohumeral instability repair, comprising:
forming at least one passageway through a bone graft, the bone graft having a cortical side and a cancellous side, wherein the bone graft is not attached to soft tissue; forming at least one passageway through a glenoid, from a posterior surface to an anterior surface; positioning a first implant secured to a first end of a suture on the cortical side of the bone graft; drawing the suture posteriorly, through the bone graft passageway and the glenoid passageway, wherein after the suture is so drawn, a second end of the suture is positioned on the posterior side of the glenoid, the first implant contacts the cortical side of the bone graft, and the cancellous surface of the bone graft is urged into contact with the anterior surface of the glenoid; inserting the second end of the suture through an eyelet of a second implant; positioning the second implant in contact with the posterior glenoid surface; and securing the second end of the suture to the second implant.
