Open Bone Augmentation Solutions for the Failed Shoulder Stabilization.

Utilizing fresh distal tibia allograft in anterior glenoid reconstruction has emerged as a highly advantageous approach in addressing instances of failed anterior shoulder stabilization with glenoid bone loss. This procedure offers several benefits, including the absence of donor-site morbidity, restoration of significant glenoid defects, reestablishment of joint congruity with the humeral head, restoration of glenoid biomechanics, and the addition of cartilage to the glenoid. Furthermore, it provides a robust and reliable alternative for managing failed stabilization procedures, leading to improved clinical outcomes and a high graft healing rate, while maintaining a low occurrence of recurrent instability.
