Favorable short-term outcomes of micronized allogenic cartilage scaffold for glenoid cartilage defects associated with posterior glenohumeral instability.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To determine clinical outcomes associated with micronized allogenic cartilage scaffold use for treatment of posterior glenoid cartilage defects at 2 years.

Study design

Case series.

Methods

A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was performed on a consecutive series of patients who underwent arthroscopic treatment of a symptomatic posterior glenoid cartilage defect with micronized allogenic cartilage scaffold between January 2019 and December 2020. The primary outcome was subjective shoulder value (SSV) at latest follow-up. Secondary outcomes included visual analog scale (VAS), recurrence of instability, and range of motion (ROM).

Results

Seven patients, including 4 in the setting of primary posterior instability and 3 in the setting o
