Full Arthroscopic Eden-Hybinette Procedure Using 2 Cortical Suture Buttons for the Reconstruction of Anteroinferior Glenoid Defects

Therapeutic management of recurrent anterior shoulder instability with an anterior glenoid defect and a Hill-Sachs lesion requires a bone graft to restore the width of the glenoid. The Latarjet procedure is the most popular technique but an iliac crest bone graft is preferred when the coracoid process is dysplastic or too short or after failure of Latarjet or Bristow-Latarjet. The purpose of this manuscript is to describe a full arthroscopic Eden-Hybinette-guided technique with 2 cortical suture buttons for bone graft fixation. This procedure allows reconstruction of severe glenoid bone defects and treatment of concomitant capsulolabral lesions and humeral bone loss, while preserving the subscapularis muscle. In addition, the use of 2 cortical buttons for bone graft fixation simplify graft transport and positioning, provides good control of the rotation, improving healing of the iliac crest bone graft to the anterior glenoid rim.
