Recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations accompanied by severe glenoid bone defects are typically treated with arthroscopy. Until now, autologous iliac grafting has been reported with excellent results, and different techniques of bone fixation have been introduced by numerous scholars. In this article, we introduce a specially designed guide that can achieve accurate positioning of the bone graft and a nonrigid graft fixation technique with a single EndoButton (Smith & Nephew). Using this technique, we greatly simplify the arthroscopic procedure and avoid the use of screws.
