Arthroscopic Anatomic Glenoid Reconstruction Hardware Removal.

ABSTRACT: Recurrent shoulder instability is associated with bone loss. Distal tibial allograft reconstruction of the glenoid is an accepted technique for managing bone loss. Bone remodeling occurs within the first 2 years postoperatively. This can lead to prominent instrumentation, particularly anteriorly near the subscapularis tendon, causing pain and weakness. We provide a description of arthroscopic instrumentation removal for prominent anterior screws following anatomic glenoid reconstruction with distal tibial allograft.
