CASE A 41-year-old, former world-champion, mixed martial arts fighter presented with debilitating pain and loss of motion because of severe glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA) in the setting of a previous shoulder instability stabilization procedure. Multiple conservative treatments failed to provide permanent relief, and he elected to undergo a comprehensive arthroscopic management (CAM) procedure for his GHOA. CONCLUSION At 2-year follow-up, the CAM procedure was effective in returning them to fighting at a professional level. The CAM procedure can be considered in young and highly active patients to restore function, preserve anatomy, and delay progression to prosthetic arthroplasty.
