Abstract:
1. A method of resurfacing a glenoid repair site on a glenoid, comprising: securing horns of a meniscal allograft together to form a ring-shaped meniscal allograft; installing a plurality of suture loops along the edge of the ring-shaped meniscal allograft to form a ring-shaped meniscal allograft with preattached suture loops; forming a plurality of holes on the glenoid rim corresponding to the positions of the suture loops attached to the edge of the ring-shaped meniscal allograft; positioning the ring-shaped meniscal allograft with the preattached suture loops to the glenoid repair site so that the suture loops along the edge of the ring-shaped meniscal allograft are aligned with the holes on the glenoid rim; and fixing the suture loops to the holes to secure the ring-shaped meniscal allograft to the glenoid.
