Abstract
Only a few reports exist on the management of severe anteroinferior glenoid defects in case of recurrent shoulder instability most of them including open approaches. We describe an all-arthroscopic reconstruction technique of the anteroinferior glenoid that includes an autologous iliac crest bone grafting using bio-compression screws and a capsulolabral repair using suture anchors. This technique recreates the bony and soft-tissue anatomy of the anteroinferior glenoid while preserving the integrity of insertion of the subscapularis (SSC) tendon.
