Abstract
This case report describes a 49-year-old former semi-professional judo player with recurrent right shoulder instability following his first dislocation in 2006. He underwent two unsuccessful arthroscopic Bankart repairs due to improper anchor positioning. In March 2020, an open Latarjet procedure was performed to address his ongoing instability, but he suffered another dislocation in January 2023 after a fall. Physical examination revealed a full range of motion, normal rotator cuff strength, and a positive apprehension test. X-rays showed a broken coracoid bone block, screw displacement, and a significant Hill-Sachs lesion. CT confirmed resorption of the previous coracoid graft and an off-track Hill-Sachs lesion. The patient underwent revision surgery, combining an arthroscopic-assisted Remplissage with an Eden-Hybinette procedure. One year postoperatively, the patient reported improved outcomes. Managing recurrent shoulder instability after failed surgeries is challenging. While the Latarjet procedure has a 10% recurrence rate, revision options such as distal tibial allograft and Eden-Hybinette procedures offer promising results. This case emphasizes the importance of combined surgical approaches and individualized treatment plans, particularly for patients with significant humeral bone loss, to enhance stability and reduce recurrent instability.
