Abstract
Treatment of focal osteochondral defects of the humeral head poses a challenge to orthopedic surgeons. Patients with this kind of pathology often present with loss of function and pain. Smaller osteochondral defects of the humeral head are often missed as a source of the patient's pain and are usually incidentally reported at the time of surgery. Good outcomes have been reported with open surgical techniques for the treatment of focal osteochondral defects. Smaller defects are usually more difficult to manage due to restrictions and limitations in the surgical approaches and techniques needed to access the affected area in order to properly assess the defect. This article describes a pioneered all-arthroscopic surgical technique for the treatment of focal osteochondral defects of the humeral head lesions.
