Radiological outcomes of iliac crest bone graft augmentation for glenoid bone loss using an open all-suture anchor and washer fixation technique.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many of the complications related to bone block augmentation for recurrent shoulder instability are related to metal screw fixation. Alternative fixation techniques using suspensory fixation have been described with good results, although they require an additional posterior incision to manage the button. It was postulated that the use of an all-suture anchor would remove the requirement for a posterior incision, whilst providing equivalent union rates. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the radiological outcome of a technique using all-suture anchor fixation of iliac crest autograft.

Methods

Eleven patients (mean age 28 years, 10 males, 1 female) underwent open anterior shoulder stabilization using an autologous iliac crest bone graft that was fixed with
