Latarjet Procedure

The Latarjet procedure has been shown to restore anterior glenohumeral stability with bone loss, although the rate of recurrence has been reported as high as 5% to 19%.

TAMPA, Fla. — An evaluation of perioperative outcomes in patients who underwent shoulder stabilization surgery revealed a high incidence of serious complications with the Latarjet-Bristow approach, according to a presenter.

TAMPA, Fla. — According to presented results, patients with anterior shoulder instability who undergo either open or arthroscopic Latarjet surgery have “excellent” patient -reported outcomes with low rates of recurrent instability.

TAMPA, Fla. — Compared with patients who undergo arthroscopic Bankart repair, patients who undergo open Latarjet surgery for subcritical glenoid bone loss have better outcomes and less physical restrictions, presented results showed.

The Latarjet procedure is a safe and effective surgical procedure to manage shoulder instability, a prominent orthopaedic surgeon from Lyon, France, said when he gave the Erwin Morscher Honorary Lecture at the Virtual EFORT Congress.

The number of preoperative episodes of dislocation did not influence postoperative instability rates or recurrence rates after a Latarjet procedure, according to a retrospective study in the American Journal of Sports Medicine.

Published results showed good clinical and radiologic results at short-term follow-up among patients who underwent arthroscopic Latarjet, with a significant decrease in surgical time, frequency of complications and number of hardware problems after the first 30 cases.

Fresh distal tibial allograft augmentation may be a viable and effective revision procedure for patients with failed Latarjet procedures, according to published results.
