Arthroscopic Anterior Glenoid Reconstruction Using a Distal Tibial Allograft Positioned With an Intra-Articular Guide and Secured With Double-Button Fixation.

ABSTRACT: Recurrent shoulder instability and its role in bone loss from the anterior glenoid is well recognized throughout the literature. This technique paper presents an all-arthroscopic technique that uses distal tibial allograft and double-button suture fixation to address anterior recurrent shoulder instability. With the patient in the lateral decubitus position, we use the posterior portal to position the double-barrel drill guide tangential to the face of the glenoid, while viewing through the anterosuperolateral portal. We then use the "bullets," which are made through two percutaneous posterior skin incisions of the double-barreled drill. This guide ensures parallel drill tunnels are created 5 mm medial to the glenoid articular surface and 1 cm apart, minimizing risk to the suprascapular ne
