Remplissage Procedure - Physiopedia Remplissage (a French term meaning “to fill in”) involves a posterior capsulodesis and infraspinatus tenodesis performed arthroscopically in patients with anterior shoulder instability and engaging Hill-Sachs lesions
What Is a Remplissage Procedure for Shoulder Instability? The term “Remplissage” is French for “to fill,” which describes the goal of the surgery: to fill a specific defect in the upper arm bone This technique is almost always performed as a supplement to other shoulder stabilization surgeries, most commonly a Bankart repair
Arthrex - Remplissage Remplissage, which is used in combination with arthroscopic Bankart repair, addresses anterior instability associated with bone loss Biomechanical studies indicate that insetting the posterior capsule and infraspinatus tendon into a Hill-Sachs defect improves joint stability
What is a Remplissage for shoulder dislocations? The Remplissage procedure addresses this issue by “filling in” the lesion with nearby rotator cuff tendon and shoulder joint capsule tissue This acts as a restraint against shoulder dislocation by preventing the humeral head from “catching” and falling out of its socket
An Evidence-Based Approach to Indication for Remplissage The remplissage is an adjunct surgical technique that can be added at the time of arthroscopic labral repair or glenoid bone block reconstruction to decrease the recurrence rate of ASI post-operatively The purpose of this review is to highlight the history, indications, and outcomes of remplissage when used for anterior shoulder instability
Shoulder Remplissage - Complete Orthopedics Podiatry If you've experienced repeated shoulder dislocations, especially from the front (anterior instability), your surgeon may recommend a procedure called a remplissage
Remplissage | Shoulder Injuries | Dr. Christopher Ahmad ‘Remplissage’ is French for ‘to fill in’ The procedure is an adjunct to the arthroscopic anterior stabilisation procedure of the shoulder in order to address bone deficiency associated with shoulder instability
POST-OP MANAGEMENT FOLLOWING REMPLISSAGE AND LATARJET PROCEDURES Passive ER motion to protect the infraspinatus and limited ER motion to protect the anterior structures (Bankart repair), IR and horizontal adduction motion limited to protect posterior repair(Remplissage)
Why Your Patient May Need a Bankart Repair Plus Remplissage This commentary provides an evidence-based overview of using remplissage with arthroscopic Bankart repair to potentially reduce recurrent instability in athletes with anterior shoulder instability
