Combined Glenoid and Humeral Head Reconstruction with Allografts
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, American Volume(2015)
Abstract
Case: We present two cases of anterior glenohumeral instability in which both the humeral head and the glenoid were reconstructed concurrently with use of allografts; we discuss the midterm outcomes at four and one-half and five years of follow-up, respectively.Conclusion: In our experience, concomitant glenoid and humeral head allograft reconstruction for anterior glenohumeral instability with severe combined humeral head and glenoid pathology yielded good midterm clinical, functional, and radiographic outcomes. This treatment approach may be a viable option for young and active patients presenting with severe combined glenoid and humeral pathology and warrants additional investigation.
