Anteroinferior glenoid bone loss plays a significant role in recurrent glenohumeral instability. Current surgical strategies to reconstruct the glenoid include coracoid transfer (Bristow-Latarjet procedure), iliac crest autograft, and allograft (osteochondral and iliac crest). These may carry drawbacks of technical difficulty, increased surgical time, neurovascular injury, and nonanatomic reconstruction. We report a technique to manage glenoid bone loss using a pre-shaped, predrilled allograft (Glenojet; Arthrosurface) that matches the native contour of the glenoid. The surgical technique and outcomes are described with an accompanying video and figures.
