The remplissage technique is a procedure designed to fill a posterosuperior humeral head defect with the infraspinatus tendon and posterior-superior capsule in patients with engaging Hill-Sachs lesions. We describe a remplissage technique using 2 posterior working portals that respects the anatomy of the posterior-superior area of the glenohumeral joint without compromising the vascularization.
