Abstract

The treatment options for posterior instability associated with epilepsy includes grafts, osteotomies, arthrodesis and
arthroplasty. The technique of reverse arthroscopic remplissage was described in 2006 as a method of filling the anterior
humeral bone defect, associated with tenodesis of the subscapularis tendon. This case report presents the results of the
reverse remplissage technique in relation to a patient who suffered a bilateral posterior glenohumeral dislocation with a
reverse Hill-Sachs lesion.
Level of evidence: IV
