Arthroscopic double bone block augmentation is a salvage procedure for anterior and posterior shoulder instability secondary to glenoid bone loss

ConclusionsAn all-arthroscopic technique for the treatment of combined anterior and posterior glenoid bone loss as a cause of shoulder instability can provide fair to good clinical outcomes, with a low incidence of intra-operative complications. The rate of failure in our series remains higher than that seen in primary stabilization procedures. As such we consider this largely as a salvage procedure for cases in which alternative treatments have failed or are unlikely to succeed.Level of evidenceIV.
