2023 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Discussion and Q & A: ESSKA: Shoulder Instability

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, a group of surgeons discuss the use of the REMPLISSAGE technique for treating Hill-Sachs lesions in shoulder instability cases. The surgeons emphasize the importance of considering the size and location of the Hill-Sachs lesion when deciding on the appropriate technique. They also mention a large multi-center randomized control trial comparing Benkart REMPLISSAGE and Latergé and express the need for more European sites to participate in the study. The surgeons share their personal preferences and techniques, such as using an augmentation with the subscapularis for on-track lesions and performing a Latergé for off-track lesions combined with glenoid bone defects. They also discuss the use of bone blocks and Xenografts in stabilizing the shoulder. The surgeons provide insights on the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches, discussing the importance of open stabilization in certain cases and the potential benefits of using knotless anchors and bone substrate. The session ends with a discussion on biceps transfers and the importance of evaluating soft tissue quality in determining the appropriate technique.
