Abstract

Read online

The arthroscopic remplissage procedure has gained popularity in recent years and is gaining acceptance as an excellent and safe procedure to perform in patients with large engaging Hill-Sachs lesions. The procedure was introduced as an arthroscopic procedure, but surgeons not familiar with the procedure often encounter many problems, which makes the procedure difficult and frustrating to perform. A technique for this procedure using a commercially available PASTA (partial articular supraspinatus tendon avulsion) repair kit is presented.
