Abstract
Management of posterior shoulder instability in patients with excessive glenoid retroversion can be challenging. However, a corrective posterior glenoid osteotomy is an option. Although various open techniques are available, minimally invasive and arthroscopy surgery are the most advantageous. This study describes the feasibility and safety of an arthroscopic posterior open wedge glenoid osteotomy using an autologous scapular spine graft along with additional posterior capsulolabral complex reattachment. This procedure is a viable option for patients with symptomatic posterior shoulder instability.
