Posterior shoulder instability - A systematic review and meta-analysis of glenoid osteotomy and bone block procedures.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Osseous glenoid surgery for posterior shoulder instability is a low-volume, high-complexity procedure. Consequently, evidence is limited to small case series from a specialist center. This study aims to systematically review and meta-analyze the effectiveness and complications profile of glenoid osteotomy and bone block procedures in treating posterior shoulder instability.

A systematic search in MEDLINE and Embase identified studies involving adult patients undergoing bone block or glenoid osteotomy. Two reviewers screened and extracted data, including patient demographics, surgery types, recurrence rates, complications, and patient-reported outcomes. The methodological quality of each study was evaluated. Meta-analysis was conducted on the reported propo
