Abstract
Remplissage minimizes recurrence and confers minimal motion loss when applied to glenoid defects up to 20% and humeral loss up to 40% in patients with shoulder instability. However, variability in the reporting of volume of both glenoid and humeral head bone loss deters the formulation of distinct thresholds for indications and contraindication for remplissage. However, there appears to be little downside in the performance of this "biologic" solution to Hill-Sachs lesions.
