Abstract
Glenoid bone loss remains a significant risk factor for recurrent instability after shoulder dislocation. Several options exist for glenoid bone graft augmentation, including autograft and allograft options. Strengths and weaknesses exist for each. Graft fixation with screws remains a key concern for technical viability requiring a medial portal as well as the risk of graft osteolysis. Suture button suspensory fixation is a new technique recently described for arthroscopic iliac crest bone graft; however, no description exists concerning osteochondral graft fixation. We describe an arthroscopic technique for distal tibial allograft glenoid augmentation with suspensory suture button fixation. The rationale and technical aspects of this procedure are discussed.
