Allograft reconstruction for humeral head defects in the setting of shoulder instability: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Glenohumeral joint instability and dislocation are common orthopedic pathologies that can produce osseous humeral head defects such as Hill-Sachs (HS) or Reverse Hill-Sachs (RHS) lesions. Numerous reconstruction techniques have been reported in the literature, including remplissage, disimpaction, and allograft reconstruction. No group has previously assessed the outcomes of allograft reconstruction for RHS lesions, nor compared the outcomes of allograft reconstruction for HS and RHS lesions. In this study, we aim to provide a comprehensive assessment of osteochondral allograft reconstruction for the distinct pathologies of RHS lesions and HS lesions by comparing postreconstruction patient-reported outcomes, complications, and radiographic assessments for each lesion.
