Abstract
Bipolar bone defect in shoulder instability are main reason for poor results after arthroscopic stabilization for acute or chronic shoulder instability. Precise quantification of those defects and their interaction to each other should be done, when facing patient with multiple shoulder dislocations. Subsequently treatment should be addressed to clinical and imaging findings. CT and MRI are now “gold standards” for decision making regarding bone defects after multiple shoulder dislocations. Bone transfers are established as reliable surgical option for such patients. They provide opportunity to compensate even large bone defects. Laterjet coracoid transfer is one of the best surgical options with easy technique and reliable results.
