Remplissage, Decision Making and Technique

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. J.T. Tokish from the Mayo Clinic in Arizona discusses the remplissage technique for treating shoulder instability with bone loss. Initially skeptical of the technique, Dr. Tokish now acknowledges its effectiveness based on compelling data. He explains that bone loss is a significant risk factor for failure after anterior instability treatment and that a subcritical level of bone loss can lead to poor outcomes. Dr. Tokish also discusses the role of on-track and off-track lesions in determining treatment options and compares the effectiveness of arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage and bone block techniques. He concludes by highlighting the evolving acceptance and promising potential of the remplissage technique for shoulder instability with bone loss.
