Abstract
Fresh distal tibia allograft (DTA) has been gaining popularity among surgeons as an anatomic reconstruction option for the treatment of significant glenoid bone loss. Fresh DTA results in a clinically stable joint with excellent clinical outcomes and minimal graft resorption, and it has similar outcomes as the Latarjet procedure. Proper graft preparation and fixation are critical to ensuring optimal outcomes. The purpose of this Technical Note is, therefore, to describe our updated technique for DTA preparation that highlights precise cutting anatomy, sizing options, and use of orthobiologics to optimize distal tibia graft union to the native glenoid surface.
