Distal Tibia Allograft Glenoid Reconstruction in Recurrent Anterior Shoulder Instability

At an average follow-up of 45 months, fresh DTA reconstruction for recurrent anterior shoulder instability results in a clinically stable joint with excellent clinical outcomes and minimal graft resorption. Optimal allograft placement resulted in superior bony incorporation with the native glenoid.
