Objective  To explore effectiveness of arthroscopic Eden-Hybinette procedure with Triple-Pulley and four point anti-rotation fixation technique in the treatment of recurrent anterior dislocation of shoulder joint. Methods  A clinical data of 14 patients with recurrent anterior dislocation of shoulder joint and glenoid bone defect, who were met the selective criteria and admitted between February 2021 and February 2022, was retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with arthroscopic Eden-Hybinette procedure and the bone blocks were fixed by using Triple-Pulley and four point anti-rotation fixation technique. There were 9 males and 5 females with an average age of 31.2 years (range, 22-40 years). Anterior shoulder dislocation occurred 4-10 times (mean, 6.8 times). The time from the initial dislocation to the admission was 1-6 years (mean, 3.3 years). The Instability Severity Index Score (ISIS) was 7.2±0.8, the Beighton score was 2.9±2.4, and the width ratio of glenoid bone defect was 24.50%±3.06%. Pre- and post-operative the visual analogue scale (VAS) score, the University of Califonia at Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder score, Constant score, and American Association of Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score were used to evaluate shoulder pain and function. The position, healing, resorption, and remodeling (glenoid area) of the bone blocks were evaluated by CT of shoulder joint. Results  All patients underwent surgery successfully without any serious complications. All patients were followed up 11.5-13.8 months (mean, 12.0 months). The VAS scores of shoulder joint after operation decreased compared to preoperative levels, while the UCLA score, Constant score, and ASES score all increased, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). And with the prolongation of time, the above indicators further improved, and the differences between different time points were significant (P<0.05). Imaging reexamination showed that the bone mass completely filled the glenoid defect, with good position and no significant displacement. Over time, the bone mass healed and partially absorbed and remodelled. The postoperative glenoid area increased significantly compared to preoperative area (P<0.05). With the prolongation of time, the glenoid area significantly decreased, but the difference was not significant between different time points (P>0.05). Conclusion  For the recurrent anterior dislocation of shoulder joint, Triple-Pulley and four point anti-rotation fixation technique in Eden-Hybinette procedure can effectively prevent bone rotation, make fixation more reliable, and easy to operate and achieve good effectiveness.
