Arthroscopic Hill-Sachs Filling Technique Using an Absorbable Interference Screw.

ABSTRACT: We present an arthroscopic technique used to treat traumatic shoulder instability in the patient with a Hill-Sachs lesion, especially an off-track lesion. The incidence of this bony defect is approximately 40% to 90% of all anterior shoulder instability cases-and up to 100% in patients with recurrent anterior instability. Incorrect management of this humeral bone defect can lead to treatment failure, and it is essential to define characteristics such as the lesion's location, depth, width, and orientation. Many arthroscopic and open procedures have been described for the surgical management of the Hill-Sachs lesion. Using arthroscopy for the surgical treatment of shoulder instability offers numerous advantages. We describe an arthroscopic technique that consists of filling the Hill-Sachs l
