Abstract
INTRODUCTION Shoulder dislocation is very common. However, neglected or chronic shoulder dislocations are extremely rare. The position of the humeral head determines the classification of shoulder dislocation. Anterior shoulder dislocation accounts for most cases, while inferior dislocation is rare. Negligence from the patient and misdiagnosis are the leading causes of chronic shoulder dislocation. Treatment of the condition poses a significant challenge for surgeons since there is no widely accepted treatment protocol. CASE PRESENTATION A 56-year-old woman presented with a neglected anterior subglenoid dislocation of the shoulder joint. The dislocation occurred due to a cow kick, and initial treatment from a traditional healer and an unqualified health practitioner failed. Clinical examination and X-ray confirmed the dislocation without associated fractures. An initial attempt at closed reduction under sedation was unsuccessful. Subsequently, open reduction and a Latarjet procedure were performed successfully, resulting in a satisfactory outcome. DISCUSSION Chronic anterior dislocation primarily affects the elderly population. Open reduction and fixation procedures have shown satisfactory outcomes. The choice of treatment depends on several factors, including bone deficiencies, soft tissue damage, and the presence of Hill-Sachs or Bankart lesions. Open reduction and laterjet procedure is a validated treatment. However, early physical therapy contributes to favorable outcomes. CONCLUSION The condition's rarity makes it difficult to establish a well-accepted treatment protocol. Early and strict rehabilitation protocols will lead to a favorable outcome.

Abstract
Bone defects are frequently observed in anterior shoulder instability. Over the last decade, knowledge of the association of bone loss with increased failure rates of soft-tissue repair has shifted the surgical management of chronic shoulder instability. On the glenoid side, there is no controversy about the critical glenoid bone loss being 20%. However, poor outcomes have been described even with a subcritical glenoid bone defect as low as 13.5%. On the humeral side, the Hill-Sachs lesion should be evaluated concomitantly with the glenoid defect as the two sides of the same bipolar lesion which interact in the instability process, as described by the glenoid track concept. We advocate adding remplissage to every Bankart repair in patients with a Hill-Sachs lesion, regardless of the glenoid bone loss. When critical or subcritical glenoid bone loss occurs in active patients (> 15%) or bipolar off-track lesions, we should consider anterior glenoid bone reconstructions. The techniques have evolved significantly over the last two decades, moving from open procedures to arthroscopic, and from screw fixation to metal-free fixation. The new arthroscopic techniques of glenoid bone reconstruction procedures allow precise positioning of the graft, identification, and treatment of concomitant injuries with low morbidity and faster recovery. Given the problems associated with bone resorption and metal hardware protrusion, the new metal-free techniques for Latarjet or free bone block procedures seem a good solution to avoid these complications, although no long-term data are yet available.

Abstract
Anterior glenohumeral instability is one of the most common injuries suffered from sport. Despite padding and conditioning, the shoulder joint remains particularly vulnerable to injury, especially in the setting of contact. The overall rate of anterior instability is reported to be 0.12 injuries per 1000 athlete exposures, although this is increased up to 0.40 to 0.51 in the contact athlete. Successful treatment requires consideration of restoring stability while minimizing loss of glenohumeral motion. Common treatment strategies involve addressing the pathology that results from anterior shoulder dislocation including labral detachment as well as bony defects to the humeral head and glenoid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Contact and collision athletes face a higher risk of recurrent anterior shoulder instability after surgical stabilization. The Latarjet procedure is often preferred given the high incidence of bony lesions. However, this stabilizing procedure, performed either open or arthroscopically, is met with concerns regarding complications and revision surgery rates. PURPOSE To evaluate the return to sport (RTS) and assess complication and instability recurrence rates in contact/collision athletes undergoing the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure using a guided technique with suture buttons for coracoid fixations. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on contact/collision athletes who underwent the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure for recurrent anterior shoulder instability between January 2011 and March 2018. All patients were operated on arthroscopically using glenoid and coracoid guides and suture button fixation of the transferred coracoid. RTS was defined as the patient being able to participate in his or her activity without any restriction postoperatively. Two independent observers assessed patients using postoperative computed tomography (CT) scans to evaluate coracoid positioning and healing. A multivariate analysis was performed to identify predictive factors associated with persistent apprehension. A group comparison was performed to assess RTS failure risk factors. RESULTS In 136 contact/collision athletes (mean age, 25 ± 7 years), 93% were satisfied, and 98% achieved shoulder stability at a mean follow-up of 60 months (range, 24-117 months). No suture button-related complications or neurovascular issues were reported. Overall, 82% (112/136) returned to contact/collision sports. The mean time to RTS was 5.3 ± 1.2 months (range, 3-7.3 months). In a CT study performed 2 weeks after surgery, 87% (118/136) of bone grafts were positioned below the equator and 93% (126/136) were flush to the glenoid surface. At the 6-month postoperative CT examination, complete bone block healing was achieved in 84% (114/136). On clinical examination at the latest follow-up, 36 patients (26%) reported some anterior apprehension on testing. On multivariate analysis, patients with severe humeral bone defects (medium to large Hill-Sachs lesions, Calandra grade 2 or 3) had a higher risk of postoperative persistent apprehension. On group comparison, a visual analog scale score >3 and persistent anterior apprehension were found to be associated with failure of RTS. CONCLUSION The arthroscopic Latarjet procedure with suture button fixation allowed 82% of athletes with recurrent anterior shoulder instability to return to contact or collision sports. Patients with severe humeral bone defects have a higher risk of persistent anterior apprehension and decreased RTS. The arthroscopic-guided procedure with suture button fixation is safe; accurate, with a high rate of anatomic graft positioning and healing; and reliable, with a low recurrence rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the Latarjet operation may be performed as a revision surgery for anterior shoulder instability, the high recurrence rate of anterior shoulder instability after arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) has led some to advocate for performing the Latarjet procedure as a primary stabilization surgery. The purpose of this study was to compare the intermediate-term outcomes after primary open Latarjet (PLJ) and revision to open Latarjet (RLJ). MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a single-institution retrospective analysis of patients who underwent either PLJ or RLJ procedures for anterior shoulder instability between 2014 and 2023. Patients with less than 1 year of follow-up, seizure history, multidirectional instability, concurrent rotator cuff repair, or the absence of preoperative imaging were excluded. Glenoid bone loss (GBL), the width of Hill-Sachs lesions, recurrent dislocations, and reoperations were assessed. RESULTS The study included 29 patients, with 12 undergoing PLJ procedures and 17 undergoing RLJ procedures. The mean duration of follow-up was similar for the two groups (4.7 vs 4.6 years, P=.854). Patients undergoing PLJ procedures demonstrated a higher mean GBL (18.4%) compared with patients undergoing revision (10.5%; P=.035); however, there was no significant difference in Hill-Sachs lesion size (14.2 vs 10.4 mm, P=.374). After stratifying according to GBL, the groups undergoing PLJ and RLJ procedures had similar recurrent dislocation rates (8.3% and 11.8%, respectively; P=1.0) and reoperation frequency (25.0% and 23.5%, respectively; P=1.0). CONCLUSION The PLJ and RLJ groups had comparable rates of recurrent dislocations, complications, and reoperations, emphasizing the value of considering Latarjet procedures as revision surgery after unsuccessful primary arthroscopic stabilization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite improved visualization, the use of arthroscopic surgery to perform the Latarjet procedure has not decreased the rates of complications and glenohumeral osteoarthritis (OA) in the long term. Many of the reported complications are related to the use of screws for bone block fixation with freehand drilling. PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term (at a minimum 10-year follow-up) clinical and radiological outcomes of the arthroscopic Bristow-Latarjet procedure using a posterior guided drilling technique and suture button for coracoid bone graft fixation. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent the arthroscopic Bristow-Latarjet procedure with suture button fixation between 2011 and 2013 were reviewed by 2 independent evaluators. Complications and revision surgery were recorded, and we evaluated patient-reported outcomes including subjective scores, recurrence of shoulder instability (dislocation or subluxation), range of motion limitations, and return to sports. Patients had radiographs taken at least 10 years after surgery to assess glenohumeral OA according to the Samilson-Prieto classification system and computed tomography scans to assess bone block positioning and healing. RESULTS A total of 65 consecutive patients (68 shoulders) with a mean follow-up of 135 months (range, 120-156 months) were included. The mean age at the time of surgery was 25 ± 8 years; 7 patients had previous failed Bankart repair. At follow-up, 94% (64/68) of the shoulders had no recurrence of instability. The 4 cases of instability recurrence were traumatic and occurred at 3 weeks (a fall), 4 months, 2 years, and 7 years after surgery. No hardware failures, coracoid fractures, or neurological complications were observed. Overall, 61 patients (94%) were still participating in sports, with 44 (68%) at the same or higher level. Range of motion showed nonsignificant restrictions in external rotation with the arm at the side (7° ± 9°) and with the arm at 90° of abduction (9° ± 10°) compared with the contralateral side. Additionally, 11 shoulders (16%) had some residual anterior apprehension on clinical examination. At last follow-up, 77% (47/61) of the shoulders had no OA development or progression. Previous failed Bankart repair was a risk factor for the development of OA. Patients with OA had significantly lower Subjective Shoulder Value scores (79% vs 91%, respectively; P = .01) and decreased external rotation with the arm at the side (40° vs 65°, respectively; P = .001) compared with patients with no or little OA. CONCLUSION The arthroscopically guided Bristow-Latarjet procedure with suture button fixation is a safe and durable surgical treatment method for recurrent anterior shoulder instability, allowing a high rate of return to sports without significant motion restrictions and no or little OA in the long term.

Abstract
Background The rates of implant-related complications are significant following the Latarjet procedure using metal screws in patients with recurrent shoulder dislocation and bone loss. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the short-term outcome following the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure using cerclage FiberTape (Arthrex, Naples, FL, USA) combined with remplissage and capsulolabral repair. It was hypothesized that performing the procedure with cerclage FiberTape would provide sturdy fixation, comparable to the conventional method of using metal screws, while averting hardware-related complications attributed to the latter in published literature. Methods A prospective study was performed in a single institution between 2020 and 2022, with all surgeries performed by a single fellowship-trained shoulder surgeon who has ample experience in performing arthroscopic screw Latarjet procedures. Patient demographics, number of dislocations before surgery, arm dominance, ligamentous laxity, type of sporting activity, Instability Severity Index Score, and percentage of bone loss on the glenoid and humeral sides were recorded. The patients were followed up with visual analog scale, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Rowe score, and Walch-Duplay score preoperatively and postoperatively. The coracoid graft position, healing, and remodeling were assessed with computed tomography scans at 3 months postoperatively. Minimum clinical follow-up was for a period of one year. Results Overall, 10 patients (all males, average age 28 ± 8.8 years) were operated on with an arthroscopic Latarjet procedure using cerclage FiberTape. The minimum follow-up period was 12 months, and the mean follow-up was 13.2 months. The median and individual visual analog scores during arm motion, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores, Rowe scores, and Walch-Duplay scores improved in the follow-up period. Computed tomography scans at 3 months showed flushed graft position in 5 patients, medial graft position in two patients, and three patients showed graft nonunion with migration. Out of 10 patients, seven had good graft union in follow-up scans. None of the patients required revision surgery. All three patients with graft nonunion were kept under follow-up beyond the study period for recurrence of instability. Conclusion Our study demonstrated that arthroscopic Latarjet using cerclage FiberTape fixation combined with remplissage and capsulolabral repair resulted in high rate of graft loosening and migration (30%). Nonetheless, patients in whom the coracoid graft had united, as well as those in whom it had not, all had good to excellent functional and clinical outcomes, no complications, and did not require any revision surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Latarjet procedure is a well-established technique for managing repeated anterior shoulder dislocation accompanied by massive glenoid bone loss. Aim of this article was to assess outcomes among modified Latarjet procedure using allograft from Iliac bone and a standard Latarjet procedure using the coracoid process. METHODS Six patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability and significant glenoid bone loss were retrospectively analyzed. Three patients underwent the modified Latarjet procedure with iliac crest bone graft (Group A), and three underwent the standard Latarjet procedure (Group B). Outcomes were assessed at the 12-month follow-up, including shoulder stability, functional scores (Constant, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, and the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI)), range of motion, complications, and return to sports. RESULTS Both groups showed improvements in stability and functional scores, with no recurrent instability reported. Group A demonstrated slightly higher functional scores and range of motion. One patient in Group A experienced donor site pain, while one patient in Group B showed significant graft resorption. Graft union was achieved in all patients. Two-thirds of patients in each group returned to their pre-injury level of sports participation. CONCLUSION Both techniques provided good clinical outcomes for anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss. The modified Latarjet with iliac crest graft may offer slight advantages in functional outcomes and graft preservation but is associated with potential donor site morbidity. Larger, prospective studies are needed to definitively compare these techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of arthroscopic Latarjet stabilization after failed arthroscopic Bankart repair has yet to be definitively established and merits further investigation. OBJECTIVE To assess clinical and radiological outcomes after arthroscopic Latarjet stabilization as a revision procedure for failed Bankart repair, as well as the return to athletic activity and complication rates. METHODS Between 2009 and 2020, patients with a previous failed arthroscopic Bankart repair who were treated with an arthroscopic Latarjet were retrospectively evaluated. Clinical outcomes at a minimum of 24 months postoperatively included the Rowe score, Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index, Constant-Murley Shoulder Outcome score, and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation. Dislocations, subluxations, complications, pre- and postoperative levels of activity, and degree of osteoarthritis were also assessed. RESULTS A total of 77 patients, with a mean age at revision surgery of 31.2 ± 9.1 years and with either 1 (n = 59), 2 (n = 13), or 3 (n = 4) previous arthroscopic stabilizations, who underwent revision surgery using an arthroscopic Latarjet procedure were studied. Postoperatively, the mean Rowe and Constant-Murley Shoulder Outcome scores increased from 41.8 ± 16 to 90.7 ± 14.3 (P < .001) and from 50.5 ± 13.8 to 90.5 ± 10.3 (P < .001), respectively. Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index decreased from 1247 ± 367.6 to 548.9 ± 363 at the final follow-up (P < .001). After a mean follow-up of 39.6 ± 23.1 months, 64 shoulders (83.1%) were subjectively graded as good to excellent using the Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score. Grade 1, 2, and 3 osteoarthritis, according to Ogawa et al, was found in 18 (23.4%), 6 (7.8%), and 3 (3.9%) shoulders, respectively. Six (7.8%) dislocations after revision surgery were reported. In 4 failed cases, an Eden-Hybinette procedure was conducted, and in the remaining 2 patients, an arthroscopic extra-articular anterior capsular reinforcement was performed. A significantly decreased level of athletic activity was observed postoperatively (P = .01). CONCLUSIONS Arthroscopic Latarjet for the revision of failed arthroscopic Bankart repair provides satisfactory patient-reported subjective outcomes with a low rate of recurrences and complications. However, a decreased level of athletic activity is expected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Management of patients with recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability in the setting of subcritical glenoid bone loss (GBL), defined in this study as 20% GBL or less, remains controversial. This study aimed to compare arthroscopic Bankart with remplissage (ABR + R) to open Latarjet for subcritical GBL in primary or revision procedures. We hypothesized that ABR + R would yield higher rates of recurrent instability and reoperation compared to Latarjet in both primary and revision settings. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on patients undergoing either arthroscopic ABR + R or an open Latarjet procedure. Patients with connective tissue disorders, critical GBL (>20%), <2 year follow-up, or insufficient data were excluded. Recurrent instability and revision were the primary outcomes of interest. Additional outcomes of interest included subjective shoulder value, strength, and range of motion (ROM) RESULTS: One hundred eight patients (70 ABR + R, 38 Latarjet) were included with an average follow-up of 4.3 ± 2.1 years. In the primary and revision settings, similar rates of recurrent instability (Primary: P = .60; Revision: P = .28) and reoperation (Primary: P = .06; Revision: P = 1.00) were observed between Latarjet and ABR + R. Primary ABR + R exhibited better subjective shoulder value, active ROM, and internal rotation strength compared to primary open Latarjet. However, no differences were observed in the revision setting. CONCLUSION Similar rates of recurrent instability and reoperation in addition to comparable outcomes with no differences in ROM were found for ABR + R and Latarjet in patients with subcritical GBL in both the primary and revision settings. ABR + R can be a safe and effective procedure in appropriately selected patients with less than 20% GBL for both primary and revision stabilization.

Clinical outcomes of open Latarjet-Patte procedures performed for recurrent anterior shoulder instability with primary bone loss versus failed arthroscopic Bankart repair. Clin Shoulder Elb 2024; 27:176-182. [PMID: 38738330 PMCID: PMC11181068 DOI: 10.5397/cise.2023.00619] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 05/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study compares the outcomes of Latarjet-Patte procedures (LPs) performed for primary glenohumeral instability in the setting of critical bone loss (LP-BL) versus salvage surgery performed after a failed arthroscopic Bankart repair (LP-FB). METHODS LP's performed by senior author from 2017 to 2021 were separated into cohorts by LP indication. Data abstracted from electronic medical records included demographic information, preoperative clinical scores, radiological imaging, and complications. Postoperative clinical outcome scores collected after a 2-year minimum follow-up included: patient-reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS) upper extremity (UE), PROMIS pain interference, PROMIS pain intensity, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), and visual analog scale pain scores. RESULTS A total of 47 patients (LP-BL: n=29, LP-FB: n=18) with a mean age of 29 years (range, 15-58 years) were included in this study. Both cohorts achieved good upper extremity functionality without significant differences as indicated by mean PROMIS UE (LP-BL: 52.6±10.0 vs. LP-FB: 54.6±7.6, P=0.442) and ASES score (LP-BL: 89.9±15.7 vs. LP-FB: 91.5±14.4, P=0.712). However, the LP-FB cohort reported lower levels of pain (LP-FB: 0.5±1.1 vs. LP-BL: 1.9±2.7, P=0.020) at their latest follow-up. There were no significant differences in complication rates including re-dislocation between cohorts (LP-BL: 2/29 [6.9%] vs. LP-FB: 2/18 [11.1%], P=0.629). CONCLUSIONS When performed after failed Bankart repair, the LP results in similar postoperative functional outcomes and similar rates of complications and re-dislocations when compared to the primary indication of recurrent glenohumeral instability in the setting of critical bone loss. Level of evidence: III.

Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med 2024; 17:207-221. [PMID: 38587597 DOI: 10.1007/s12178-024-09895-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Anterior shoulder instability is associated with concomitant injury to several stabilizing structures of the shoulder, including glenoid bone loss. While instability is most common in young athletes and patients with predisposing conditions of hyperlaxity, recurrent shoulder instability can occur throughout various age ranges and may lead to longer term effects including pain and shoulder arthritis. Glenoid bone loss exceeding certain thresholds is generally treated by glenoid reconstruction via bone block augmentation to adequately stabilize the glenohumeral joint. These procedures increase the width of the articular surface on which the humeral head can translate before dislocation and, based on the procedure performed, provide a sling effect via the conjoined tendon, and increase tension to support the anterior capsule. The purpose of this review is to summarize the available literature regarding bone block fixation techniques. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS Various fixation techniques have been utilized to secure bone block transfers. Though screw fixation has traditionally been used for bone block fixation, suture buttons, suture anchors, and all-suture techniques have been utilized in attempts to avoid complications associated with the use of screws. Biomechanical studies report variable force-resistance, displacement, and mode of failure when comparing screw to suture button-based fixation of glenoid bone blocks. Clinical and radiographic studies have shown these novel suture-based techniques to be comparable, and in some cases advantageous, to traditional screw fixation techniques. While screw fixation has long been the standard of care in glenoid bone block procedures, it is associated with high complication rates, leading surgeons to endeavor toward new fixation techniques. In available biomechanical studies, screw fixation has consistently demonstrated high maximal load-to-failure and displacement with cyclic loading. Studies have reported similar clinical and radiographic outcomes in both screw and suture-based fixation methods, with evidence of reduced bone resorption with suture fixation. While suture button fixation is associated with a higher rate of recurrent instability, overall complication rates are low. Future research should address biomechanical shortcomings of suture-based fixation techniques and continue to assess long-term follow-up of patients treated with each fixation method.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the 2 Latarjet fixation techniques-screw fixation (SF) versus suture button (SB) -for clinical, biomechanical, and radiologic outcomes. METHODS A systematic review was conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic and Meta-Analyses guidelines using MEDLINE and Embase databases and was prospectively registered on PROSPERO. Only comparative clinical and biomechanical studies of Latarjet with SF and SB were included. Studies were appraised using the Methodical Index for Non-Randomised Studies (MINORS) tool. RESULTS Eleven studies met eligible criteria: 7 clinical studies (SB, n = 279; SF, n = 845) and 4 biomechanical. In total, 80.9% (SB) and 84.2% (SF) of patients were male. Follow-up ranged from 6 to 63.6 months. The overall recurrent instability rate for SB ranged from 0 to 8.3% and for SF ranged from 0 to 2.75%. Only one study demonstrated a greater recurrent instability rate with SB (P = .02). Overall SB complication rates ranged from 0 to 12.5% and SF ranged from 0 to 27%. Two studies reported greater complications and reoperations with SF related to hardware. Summary forest plots from 4 studies showed no significant difference in Walch Duplay score (mean difference, range -5.00 to 1.20 [95% confidence interval {CI} -12.13 to 8.56], I2 inconsistency = 0%), Rowe score (mean difference, range -2.00 to 4.00 [95% CI -7.37 to 7.66], I2 inconsistency = 45%), and VAS for pain (mean difference, range -0.10 to 0.60 [95% CI -0.72 to 1.33], I2 inconsistency = 0%). There was no statistically significant difference between SB and SF in the postoperative range of motion. Radiologically, there was no significant difference in graft positioning and union at final follow-up, but graft resorption was greater in SF (range 25.2%-47.6%) compared with SB (range 10.1%-18.5%). Biomechanical studies showed no significant difference in maximum load to failure (SB, range 184-266 N vs SF, range 148-288 N). CONCLUSIONS Clinically, SB fixation demonstrated similar functional outcome and range of motion when compared with SF, with the potential benefit of lower rates of graft resorption and hardware-related complications. Biomechanically there was no difference in maximum load to failure. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, systematic review of Level III and biomechanical studies.

Abstract
The Latarjet procedure is a proven and effective operation to treat anterior shoulder instability. Especially in cases with anterior glenoid bone loss, the Latarjet operation is the most popular procedure to restore glenoid anatomy and avoid further dislocations. Next to the re-creation of the missing glenoid bone, the sling effect of the conjoint tendon transferred between a split in the subscapularis muscle is an important "soft tissue stabilizer" of the humeral head. However, it has been shown that the inferior part of the subscapularis muscle tends to degenerate, leading to fatty infiltration of the muscle itself. Also, exposure through the subscapularis split is technically demanding, and there is a risk of nerve damage due to the pulling forces of the retractors during open surgery. When performing the procedure arthroscopically, extremely low and medial portals are necessary to find a correct angle for the glenoid drilling when approaching from anterior. Neurovascular structures may be at risk during these surgical steps. The aim of the flipped Latarjet procedure is to facilitate a safe and reliable arthroscopic operation to anteriorly stabilize the shoulder by transferring the coracoid to the deficient glenoid without splitting the subscapularis muscle while keeping the benefits of a sling effect of the conjoined tendon.

Primary bone graft stability after Latarjet surgery: biomechanical evaluation of a fixation technique with metal-free all-suture cerclage vs. cortical screws. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2024; 33:e175-e184. [PMID: 37652214 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.07.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2023] [Revised: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To reduce hardware-related complications in coracoid graft fixation to the anterior aspect of the glenoid, a metal-free Latarjet technique was recently introduced. The aim of this study was to compare the primary stability of a classic Latarjet procedure with 2 metal screws to a novel metal-free, all-suture cerclage method. It is hypothesized that fixation of the coracoid graft with 2 malleolar screws will provide higher primary stability compared with an all-suture cerclage technique. METHODS This biomechanical in vitro study was conducted on 12 fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders (6 matched pairs) with a mean donor age of 80 years (range, 67-89 years). Coracoid graft fixation was performed using a recently introduced all-suture cerclage technique (group A) or a classic Latarjet technique with two 4.5-mm malleolar screws (group B). The conjoint tendon was loaded with a static force of 10 N to simulate the sling effect. Graft loading with a probe head consisted of 6 ascending load levels (10-50 N, 10-100 N, 10-150 N, 10-200 N, 10-250 N, and 10-300 N) with 100 cycles each at 1 Hz. Relative motion of the bone graft to the glenoid was measured using an optic 3-dimensional system. RESULTS While loading the conjoint tendon with 10 N, no difference in mean displacement of the bone-graft was found between both groups (P = .144). During cyclic loading, a significant difference in relative displacement for both groups was already detected in load level 1 (group A: 2398.8 μm vs. group B: 125.7 μm; P = .024), and this trend continued with the following load levels (P < .05). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION The study demonstrated that the innovative metal-free, all-suture cerclage fixation technique results in higher micromotion than the classic coracoid graft fixation with 2 malleolar screws. According to the present biomechanical investigation, shoulders treated with a metal-free all-suture cerclage technique might need adapted rehabilitation protocols to protect the construct and allow for graft healing.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze radiographic outcomes by conventional radiography, computed tomography (CT), or both and complication rates of open coracoid transfer at a minimum of 12-months follow-up. METHODS A literature search was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, using PubMed, Medline (Ovid), and EMBASE library databases. Inclusion criteria were clinical studies reporting on open Latarjet as the primary surgical procedure(revision coracoid transfer after failed prior stabilization excluded) with postoperative radiographic outcomes at a minimum mean 1-year follow-up. Patient demographics, type of postoperative imaging modality, and radiographic outcomes and complications including graft union, osteoarthritis, and osteolysis were systematically reviewed. Data were summarized as ranges of reported values for each outcome metric. Each radiographic outcome was graphically represented in a Forest plot with point estimates of the incidence of radiographic outcomes with corresponding 95% confidence intervals and I2. RESULTS Thirty-three studies met inclusion criteria, with a total of 1,456 shoulders. The most common postoperative imaging modality was plain radiography only (n = 848 [58.2%]), both CT and radiography (n = 287 [19.7%]), and CT only (n = 321 [22.1%]). Overall, the reported graft union rate ranged from 75% to 100%, of which 79.8% (n = 395) were detected on plain radiography. The most common reported postoperative radiographic complications after the open coracoid transfer were osteoarthritis (range, 0%-100%, pooled mean 28%), graft osteolysis (range, 0%-100%, pooled mean 30%), nonunion (range, 0%-32%, pooled mean 5.1%), malpositioned graft (range, 0%-75%, pooled mean 14.75%), hardware issues (range, 0%-9.1%, pooled mean 5%), and bone block fracture (range, 0%-8%, pooled mean 2.1%). Graft healing was achieved in a majority of cases (range, 75%-100%). CONCLUSION Postoperative radiographic outcomes after open coracoid transfer vary greatly in definition, classification, and imaging modality of choice. Greater consistency in postoperative radiographic outcomes is essential to evaluate graft healing, osteolysis, and nonunion. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, systematic review of Level III-IV studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Latarjet procedure is commonly performed in the treatment of recurrent shoulder instability and is also indicated as a salvage procedure for recurrence after failed arthroscopic Bankart repair. Although this procedure has shown success, there has been an increased awareness of complications in recent studies, especially graft osteolysis. Most relevant research has focused on the pathophysiology, incidence, or location of graft osteolysis or the risk factors for graft osteolysis; however, the data are limited to primary Latarjet procedures. This study aimed to investigate the effect of previous arthroscopic Bankart repair surgery on coracoid bone graft osteolysis in the Latarjet procedure. METHODS This retrospective case-control study analyzed data from patients who underwent primary Latarjet procedures or revision Latarjet procedures following failed arthroscopic Bankart repair. Clinical outcome measures included range of motion, the Subjective Shoulder Value, and the Rowe score. Volumetric analysis of each transferred coracoid graft was performed using early postoperative and late postoperative computed tomography scan data, and the amount of graft osteolysis was then calculated as the percentage of volume reduction of each graft. RESULTS A total of 32 patients who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study, with 24 patients in the primary Latarjet group (group I) and 8 patients in the revision Latarjet group (group II). The mean age of the patients was 32.5 ± 7.7 years, and the mean follow-up duration was 52.1 ± 8.9 months. Both study groups showed significant improvement in the Subjective Shoulder Value compared with baseline (P < .05). Comparison of postoperative clinical outcome measures showed no significant difference in any outcome parameter between the 2 study groups (P > .05). No recurrence was observed during the follow-up period. A positive apprehension sign was present in 6 patients (25%) in group I and 4 patients (50%) in group II (P > .05). Analysis of radiologic data revealed that all patients underwent some degree of graft osteolysis, with varying osteolysis ratios between 12% and 98%. The mean osteolysis ratio of the coracoid graft was 67.3% ± 22.6% in group I and 69.4% ± 25.6% in group II, with no significant difference between the 2 groups (P > .05). CONCLUSION The findings of this study suggest that a considerable amount of coracoid graft osteolysis is observed after both primary Latarjet procedures and revision Latarjet procedures following failed arthroscopic Bankart repair. Previous arthroscopic Bankart repair did not seem to have a significant influence on the amount of graft osteolysis, and both primary and revision Latarjet procedures showed satisfactory clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose To report on operative and clinical outcomes in a series of shoulders treated with arthroscopic Latarjet performed in the lateral decubitus position. Methods Patients with shoulders that underwent arthroscopic Latarjet in the lateral decubitus position were identified. Data were retrospectively collected, including patient demographics, operative times, intra- and postoperative complications, and clinical and functional outcomes. Descriptive statistics were performed. Results Eighteen shoulders in 17 patients were included in the study with a mean follow-up of 14 ± 12.1 months (range, 4-39 months). The mean operative time for all procedures was 132.2 ± 18.0 minutes, and the mean operative time for the first half of the cohort was significantly longer than that of the second half (141.6 ± 14.2 minutes vs 122.8 ± 17.0 minutes, P = .02). There were no intraoperative complications, and no patients required a conversion to open surgery. One patient experienced a recurrent dislocation after a traumatic event but was able to be treated nonoperatively. Preoperative and postoperative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were able to be collected on 8 of 18 patients (44.4%). Although all PROMs demonstrated improvements postoperatively, only the Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder Index displayed a statistically significant increase (P < .05). Five of 8 (62.5%) shoulders demonstrated bony fusion on postoperative computed tomography scan. Of those eligible, 100% of patients returned to sport or felt that they could return if they wanted to. Conclusions The arthroscopic Latarjet is an effective procedure for managing glenohumeral instability and can safely be performed in the lateral decubitus position.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2024; 33:924-931. [PMID: 37648015 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.07.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The popularity of team handball is increasing, with >10 million children playing this overhead throwing and collision sport with highest demands on the shoulder joint. Because of the risk of recurrent instability, the Latarjet-Patte (LP) procedure has been recommended to treat young competitive players. This is the first LP outcome study in professional handball players. METHODS We retrospectively included 20 shoulders (18 players [17 male patients]; mean age, 22.9 years [range, 17-35 years]; minimum follow-up period, 2 years; mean follow-up period, 6.6 years) operated on by 3 expert surgeons (2011-2020) with the Walch LP technique. We documented preoperative hyperlaxity (25%, n = 5), affected throwing arm (55%, n = 11), position (backcourt, winger, and goalkeeper, 22% each; full back and pivot, 17% each), >2 dislocations prior (20%, n = 4), >10 dislocations prior (5%, n = 1), previous failed Bankart or humeral avulsion of glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) repair (10%, n = 2), and large Hill-Sachs lesions (HSLs) (20%, n = 4). Clinical and radiographic outcomes, visual analog scale score, Subjective Shoulder Value, Walch-Duplay score, Rowe score, and return-to-sport (RTS) rate were recorded. RESULTS The RTS rate was 85% (17 of 20 shoulders); rate of RTS at the same level, 80% (16 of 20); and rate of RTS with no throwing pain, 73% (8 of 11). The time to training with a ball was 3.2 months, and the time to competition was 4.9 months. The mean Rowe score, Walch-Duplay score, and Subjective Shoulder Value were 90 points, 88 points, and 89%, respectively. Shoulder symptoms led players to give up handball in 2 cases (10%), whereas 1 player (5%) stopped playing handball for other reasons. We recorded 1 recurrent dislocation (5%) (non-throwing arm, winger, no recurrence after rehabilitation). Persistent apprehension occurred in 1 goalkeeper (5%). Residual pain was seen in 4 shoulders (20%); this was relieved by screw removal in 1. Resistant pain (throwing shoulder) was seen in 2 backcourt players (10%, 1 of whom had a large HSL) and 1 goalkeeper (5%; large HSL with >10 dislocations prior), all 3 of whom were aged > 30 years. Bone block positioning was correct (no lateral overhang) in all shoulders. At final follow-up, 1 shoulder (5%) showed mild arthritic changes (>10 dislocations, large HSL). CONCLUSION The open LP procedure is consistent in providing shoulder stability combined with return-to-throwing performance in professional handball players with a short time to RTS and high same-level RTS rate without increasing the risk of arthritic changes. Throwing shoulders of backcourt players, large HSLs, or age > 30 years may have an increased risk of persistent symptoms.

Female Patients Undergoing Latarjet Surgery Show Similar 2-Year Secondary Surgery Rates but Greater Risk of Emergency Department Visits Compared With a Matched Cohort of Male Patients. Arthroscopy 2024:S0749-8063(24)00230-5. [PMID: 38513877 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2024.02.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2023] [Revised: 02/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate sex-based differences in 30-day postoperative emergency department (ED) visits, 90-day complication rates, and 2-year secondary surgery rates after the Latarjet procedure for the treatment of recurrent shoulder instability. METHODS A national administrative claims database was used to identify patients with International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) diagnosis codes for shoulder subluxation or dislocation on the day of first-time stabilization with the Latarjet technique between 2015 and 2021. Male patients were matched 4:1 to female patients based on age, Elixhauser Comorbidity Index (ECI) score, and body mass index class. Rates of 30-day ED visits and 90-day complications were compared between cohorts, and risk factors for ED visits were identified by multivariate regression. The incidence of secondary surgery within 2 years was compared by Kaplan-Meier analysis. RESULTS Prior to matching, 1,059 male and 360 female patients met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subsequent 4:1 (male-to-female) matching controlling for age, ECI score, and body mass index yielded 694 male and 185 female patients who underwent the Latarjet procedure. The overall incidence of 30-day ED visits was 9.3%, with an incidence of 8.2% for male patients and 13.5% for female patients. On the basis of multivariate logistic regression, these 30-day ED visits were associated with female sex (odds ratio, 1.79; P = .029) and incrementally higher ECI scores; relative to an ECI score of 0, ECI scores of 1 to 2, 3 to 4, and 5 or greater were associated with odds ratios of 5.31 (P = .006), 8.12 (P < .001), and 12.84 (P < .001), respectively. Ninety-day complications occurred in 1.5% of the total cohort, and the incidence was not statistically different between sexes. Overall, 2-year secondary surgery rates were similar between male and female patients (5.1% and 6.7%, respectively; P = .4). CONCLUSIONS Female patients undergoing the Latarjet procedure for recurrent shoulder instability showed similar 90-day complication and 2-year secondary surgery rates to a matched cohort of male patients. Female sex, along with ECI score, however, was associated with a greater rate of 30-day ED visits. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective comparative case series.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few clinical studies have addressed concavity restoration by natural remodeling after a Latarjet procedure. This study investigated the fibrous tissue and osseous remodeling of the reconstructed glenoid and concavity restoration after a Latarjet procedure using postoperative computed tomographic arthrography (CTA). METHODS This retrospective study included 31 patients who underwent immediate postoperative computed tomographic (CT) scanning followed by CTA at 6 months postoperatively. We investigated whether fibrous tissue was newly created over the graft, whether the created fibrous tissue restored the congruity of the articular surface and the osseous remodeling of the graft to the glenoid level (whether the osseous portion of the graft was remodeled flush to the glenoid level) and the concavity of the glenoid using the radius of a best-fit circle on the articular surface, and the relationship between the amount of created fibrous tissue and the position of the graft. RESULTS In all patients, the fibrous tissue on the graft yielded a smooth articular surface, as revealed by the CTA. The mean radius of the entire glenoid, including the transferred graft, was significantly smaller (p = 0.010) at 33.2 ± 8.5 mm than that of the glenoid posterior to the osseous step-off at 37.6 ± 9.4 mm, which is presumed to be the glenoid before the surgical procedure. Despite the congruity of the articular surfaces due to fibrous tissue seen in the CTA, 14 (45%) of 31 patients showed a subchondral osseous step-off on either the medial side or the lateral side in the immediate postoperative CT scans. However, through osseous remodeling, 8 of the 10 grafts with a lateral step-off and 2 of the 4 grafts with a medial step-off converted to a flush position. The position of the step-off was correlated with the thickness of the fibrous tissue, with a tendency for thicker tissue in cases of a step-off on the medial side (p = 0.014). CONCLUSIONS Fibrous tissue formation plus remodeling of the transferred graft resulted in the restoration of a congruent concavity after a Latarjet procedure by compensating for initially non-flush positioning of the graft. However, due to the small sample size in our study, clinical outcomes could not be correlated with radiographic findings, and our recommendation is to continue placing the graft as anatomically as possible.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2024; 33:610-617. [PMID: 37788755 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.08.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Revised: 08/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 10/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Latarjet procedure is widely used to address anterior shoulder instability, especially in case of glenoid bone loss. Recently, cortical suture button fixation for coracoid transfer has been used to mitigate complications seen with screw placement. The aim of this biomechanical study was to evaluate the stability of a novel and cost-effective cow-hitch suture button technique, designed to be performed through a standard open deltopectoral approach, and compare this to a well-established double suture button technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS We randomly assigned 12 fresh frozen cadaveric shoulders to undergo the Latarjet procedure with either 4 suture button (S&N EndoButton) fixations (SB group; n = 6, age 72 ± 9.8 years) or cow-hitch suture button technique using a 1.7-mm FiberTape looped sequentially in 2 suture buttons (Arthrex Pectoralis Button) placed from anterior on the posterior glenoid (CH-SB group; n = 6, age 73 ± 9.3 years). After fixation, all shoulders underwent biomechanical testing with direct loading on the graft via a material testing system. Cyclic loading was performed for 100 cycles (10-100 N) to determine axial displacement with time; each graft was then monotonically loaded to failure. RESULTS The maximum cyclic displacement was 4.3 ± 1.6 mm for the cow-hitch suture button technique and 5.0 ± 1.7 mm for the standard double suture button technique (P = .46). Ultimate load to failure and stiffness were, respectively, 190 ± 82 N and 221 ± 124 N/mm for the CH-SB technique and 172 ± 48 N and 173 ± 34 N/mm for the standard double SB technique (P = .66 and .43). The most common failure mode was suture cut-through at the anteroinferior aspect of the glenoid for both fixation groups. CONCLUSIONS The cow-hitch suture button technique resulted in a similar elongation, stiffness, and failure load compared to an established double suture button technique. Therefore, this cost-effective fixation may be an alternative, eligible for open approaches, to the established double suture button techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The shoulder joint is the most commonly dislocated joint in the human body, and the recurrence rate exceeds 50% after nonsurgical treatment. Although surgical treatment reduces the recurrence rate, there is controversy regarding the optimal surgical approach. Previous studies suggest that the Latarjet procedure yields favourable outcomes for specific populations at risk of recurrence, such as competitive athletes with significant glenoid defects. However, most of the existing related research consists of nonrandomized controlled trials with small sample sizes, and there is a lack of strong evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of the Latarjet procedure. METHODS The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched. Athletes with ≥ 20% glenoid defects were selected for inclusion. The following data were extracted: general patient information, instability rates, return to sports (RTS) rates, imaging features (graft positioning rate and graft healing rate), functional assessments [Rowe score, Athletic Shoulder Outcome Scoring System(ASOSS), visual analogue scale (VAS), forward flexion function, and external rotation function], and complications. RESULTS After excluding suspected duplicate cases, a total of 5 studies were included in this meta-analysis. The studies involved a total of 255 patients, including 237 males (93%) and 18 females (7%). The average age at the time of surgery was 25.4 ± 8.5 years. All the studies had a minimum follow-up period of 2 years, with an average follow-up time of 48.7 ± 18.9 months. The pooled rate of return to sport (RTS) was 94.3% (95% CI: 87.3%, 98.8%), and 86.1% (95% CI: 78.2%, 92.5%) of patients returned to their preoperative level of activity. The pooled redislocation rate was 1.1% (95% CI: 0%, 3.8%). Regarding the imaging results, the combined graft retention rate was 92.1% (95% CI: 88.1%, 95.5%), and the graft healing rate was 92.1% (95% CI: 88%, 95.4%). Postoperative functional evaluation revealed that the combined Rowe score, ASOSS score, and VAS score were 93.7 ± 6.5 points, 88.5 ± 4.4 points, and 1.1 ± 10 points, respectively. The forward flexion and external rotation angles were 170.9 ± 6.9 degrees and 65.6 ± 4.5 degrees, respectively. After excluding one study with unclear complications, the combined complication rate was 9.4% (95% CI: 1.0%, 23.6%). CONCLUSION For athletes with shoulder instability and a total of ≥ 20% glenoid bone defects, the Latarjet procedure can achieve excellent functional outcomes, with the majority of patients returning to preoperative levels of sports activity. This procedure also leads to a low recurrence rate. Therefore, the Latarjet procedure has been proven to be a safe and effective treatment.

Abstract
Background The Latarjet procedure is a common bony augmentation procedure for anterior shoulder instability. Historically, screw fixation is used to secure the coracoid graft to the anterior glenoid surface; however, malpositioning of the graft leads to oblique screw insertion that contributes to complications. Suture buttons (SBs) are a more recent fixation technique that have not been studied alongside standard screw fixation in the context of biomechanical models of angulated fixation. This study aims to compare the biomechanical strength of single and double, screw and SB fixation at various levels of angulation. Methods Testing was performed using polyurethane models from Sawbones. The graft piece was secured with screw fixation (Arthrex, Naples, FL, USA) or suspensory button (ABS Tightrope, Arthrex, Naples, FL, USA). Single or double constructs of screws and SBs were affixed at 0°, 15°, and 30° angles to the face of the glenoid component. An aluminum testing jig held the samples securely while a materials testing system applied loads. Five constructs were used for each condition and assessed load to failure testing. Results For single fixation constructs, suspensory buttons were 60% stronger than screws at 0° (P < .001), and 52% stronger at 15° (P = .004); however, at 30°, both were comparable (P = .180). Interestingly, single suspensory button at 15° was equivalent to a single screw at 0° (P = .310). For double fixation, suspensory buttons (DT) were 32% stronger than screws at 0° (P < .001) and 35% stronger than screws at 15° (P < .001). Both double fixation methods were comparable at 30° (P = .061). Suspensory buttons at 15° and 30° were equivalent to double screws at 0 (P = .280) and 15° (P = .772), respectively. Conclusion These measurements indicate that the suspensory button has a significantly higher load to failure capacity over the screw fixation technique, perpendicularly and with up to 15° of angulation. These analyses also indicate that the suspensory button fixation offers superior strength even when positioned more obliquely than the screw fixation. Therefore, suspensory button fixation may confer more strength while offering greater margin for error when positioning the graft.

Abstract
Background To systematically review the literature to evaluate the outcomes following an open Latarjet (OL) procedure at a minimum 15-year follow-up. Methods Two independent reviewers performed a literature search using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines using 3 databases. Only studies reporting outcomes of OL procedure with a minimum of 15 years of follow-up were included. Results Nine studies composed of 326 shoulders (78.2% males) in 313 patients were included (average age 26.9 ± 3.2 years (15-58)), with a mean follow-up of 271.9 ± 69.2 months (180-420) At a minimum 15-year follow-up, 93.5% (286 of 306) patients reported being satisfied with their OL procedure, whilst 86.8% (177 of 204) reported good/excellent outcomes at final follow-up. All nine of the included studies reported an overall rate of recurrent instability was 7.7%, with re-dislocations and subluxation at 3.4% and 5.8%, respectively. The rate of surgical revision was 5.15%; 3.5% of cases were revised for recurrent instability. Instability arthropathy was reported across all included studies as 41.0%. Conclusion The OL procedure results in satisfactory clinical outcomes, low rates of recurrent instability and surgical revision at a minimum 15-year follow-up. Although high levels of radiological instability arthropathy and residual pain are found over the same period, these appear stable from a minimum of 10-year follow-up data.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the incidence of postoperative complications after an isolated primary Latarjet procedure for anterior shoulder instability at a minimum 2-year follow-up. METHODS A systematic review was performed in accordance with 2020 PRISMA guidelines. EMBASE, Scopus, and PubMed databases were queried from database inception through September 2022. The literature search was limited to human clinical studies reporting on postoperative complications and adverse events after a primary Latarjet procedure with a minimum 2-year follow-up. Risk of bias was measured using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RESULTS Twenty-two studies, consisting of 1,797 patients (n = 1,816 shoulders), with a mean age of 24 years were identified. The overall postoperative complication rate ranged from 0% to 25.7%, with the most common complication being persistent shoulder pain (range: 0%-25.7%). Radiological changes included graft resorption (range: 7.5%-100%) and glenohumeral degenerative changes (range: 0%-52.5%). Recurrent instability following surgery was documented in 0% to 35% of shoulders, while the incidence of bone block fractures ranged from 0% to 6% of cases. Postoperative nonunion, infection, and hematomas had a reported incidence rate ranging from 0% to 16.7%, 0% to 2.6%, and 0% to 4.4%, respectively. Overall, 0% to 7.5% of surgeries were reported failures, and 0% to 11.1% of shoulders required reoperation, with a revision rate ranging from 0% to 7.7%. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of complications following the primary Latarjet procedure for shoulder instability was variable, ranging from 0% to 25.7%. High rates of graft resorption, degenerative changes, and nonunion were present while failure and revision rates remained low at a minimum 2-year follow-up.

Abstract
Intraoperative vertical coracoid graft fractures during the Latarjet procedure are well-described complications, which typically have a poor prognosis or may necessitate further iliac crest bone grafting for stabilization. The vertical split coracoid fractures are reasoned to be caused by excessive tightening of the screws, poor bone quality, especially in females and the smaller dimension of the coracoid graft. In this technical note, we propose an arthroscopic salvage technique for salvaging the fractured coracoid graft and to avoid the need for additional bone graft, thereby reducing morbidity to the patient. We use two double-loaded, all-suture anchors (Stryker, India) on either side of the split coracoid graft, and double-pulley configuration of suture tightening is done, providing compression and stability to the fractured graft.

[PMID: 37355185 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2023.05.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 05/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/26/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy of all-arthroscopic glenoid bone augmentation surgery using the iliac crest autograft procedure. Furthermore, we sought to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of using screw versus button fixation, in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability. METHODS Between 2015 and 2019, 134 shoulders with persistent instability were surgically treated with an arthroscopically placed autologous iliac crest bone graft transfer procedure. Preoperative and postoperative clinical follow-up data were evaluated using the range of motion, and the Walch-Duplay, American Shoulder and Elbow Society, and Rowe scores. Radiologic assessment on 3-dimensional computed tomography scans was performed preoperatively, immediately after surgery, as well as postoperatively, at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and at the final follow-up stage. Graft positions, healing, and resorption were evaluated from postoperative images. RESULTS This study included 102 patients who underwent arthroscopic iliac crest bone grafting procedure with 2 screws fixation (n = 37; group 1) and 2 button fixation (n = 65; group 2). The mean follow-up period was 37 months. There were no significant differences between groups in terms of clinical scores, shoulder motion range, graft healing, or graft positions on computed tomography scans (P>.05). In group 1, 1 patient showed mechanical irritation and persistent pain around the screw insertion site, being treated through the arthroscopic removal of the screws. The average postoperative bony resorption percentages were 20.3% and 11.2% at 6 months, and 32.4% and 19.3% at 12 months, in group 1 and group 2, respectively. A statistically significant difference was detected between the two groups (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS In the arthroscopic iliac crest bone grafting procedure for the treatment of chronic osseous anterior shoulder instability, excellent functional results were obtained after both button fixation and screw fixation techniques. In addition, less graft resorption and no hardware-related complications were detected with suture button fixation technique. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective comparative therapeutic trial.

Ganokroj P, Dey Hazra M, Dey Hazra RO, Brady AW, Brown JR, Rupp MC, Garcia AR, Whalen RJ, Millett PJ, Provencher MT. Biomechanical Evaluation of the 2 Different Levels of Coracoid Graft Positions in the Latarjet Procedure for Anterior Shoulder Instability. Orthop J Sports Med 2023; 11:23259671231202533. [PMID: 38145219 PMCID: PMC10748952 DOI: 10.1177/23259671231202533] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Background In the Latarjet procedure, the ideal placement of the coracoid graft in the medial-lateral position is flush with the anterior glenoid rim. However, the ideal position of the graft in the superior-inferior position (sagittal plane) for restoring glenohumeral joint stability is still controversial. Purpose To compare coracoid graft clockface positions between the traditional 3 to 5 o'clock and a more inferior (for the right shoulder) 4 to 6 o'clock with regard to glenohumeral joint stability in the Latarjet procedure. Study Design Controlled laboratory study. Methods A total of 10 fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders were tested in a dynamic, custom-built robotic shoulder model. Each shoulder was loaded with a 50-N compressive load while an 80-N force was applied in the anteroinferior axes at 90° of abduction and 60° of shoulder external rotation. Four conditions were tested: (1) intact, (2) 6-mm glenoid bone loss (GBL), (3) Latarjet procedure fixed at 3- to 5-o'clock position, and (4) Latarjet procedure fixed at 4- to 6-o'clock position. The stability ratio (SR) and degree of lateral humeral displacement (LHD) were recorded. A 1-factor random-intercepts linear mixed-effects model and Tukey method were used for statistical analysis. Results Compared with the intact state (1.77 ± 0.11), the SR was significantly lower after creating a 6-mm GBL (1.14 ± 0.61, P = .009), with no significant difference in SR after Latarjet 3 to 5 o'clock (1.51 ± 0.70, P = .51) or 4 to 6 o'clock (1.55 ± 0.68, P = .52). Compared with the intact state (6.48 ± 2.24 mm), LHD decreased significantly after GBL (3.16 ± 1.56 mm, P < .001) and Latarjet 4 to 6 o'clock (5.48 ± 3.39 mm, P < .001). Displacement decreased significantly after Latarjet 3 to 5 o'clock (4.78 ± 2.50 mm, P = .04) compared with the intact state but not after Latarjet 4 to 6 o'clock (P = .71). Conclusion The Latarjet procedure in both coracoid graft positions (3-5 and 4-6 o'clock) restored the SR to the values measured in the intact state. A more inferior graft position (fixed at 4-6 o'clock) may improve shoulder biomechanics, but additional work is needed to establish clinical relevance. Clinical Relevance An inferior coracoid graft fixation, the 4- to 6-o'clock position, may benefit in restoring normal shoulder biomechanics after the Latarjet procedure.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate whether the parallelism of screws with glenoid in Latarjet surgery interferes in the positioning of the graft and to verify the reproducibility of a method of measuring screws positioning. Methods Retrospective, multicenter study, of patients with anterior shoulder instability submitted to modified Latarjet surgery and at least one year of postoperative follow-up. Two radiologists analyzed the postoperative tomographic images, acquired in a database, to evaluate the positioning of screws and radiographic complications. Results We evaluated 34 patients, aged between 21 and 60 years, one of them with bilateral shoulder involvement, totaling 35 shoulders evaluated. The tomographic evaluation of the inclination angles of the screws showed no difference between the observers. There was intra- and interobserver agreement to evaluate the following surgical parameters: graft position, presence or not of radiographic complications. Conclusion The technique described for measuring the parallelism of screws in Latarjet surgery presented a very good and excellent intra-observer agreement, respectively. Screw parallelism with glenoid is recommended; however, it is not a mandatory and unique condition to avoid radiographic complications.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2023; 32:2599-2612. [PMID: 37541335 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.07.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2023] [Revised: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/02/2023] [Indexed: 08/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Latarjet has become an increasingly popular treatment option for recurrent anterior shoulder instability. With the reported complication rates for primary Latarjet surgery, there are concerns about the complications of Latarjet as a revision surgery. It remains unclear if poor results after previous surgical management can be improved with revision Latarjet as well as with primary Latarjet. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to compare the outcomes of primary Latarjet and revision Latarjet for the treatment of anterior shoulder instability. METHODS A systematic search was performed on 3 databases for studies that compared primary Latarjet with revision Latarjet used after failed arthroscopic stabilization or failed free bone block procedures. From the included studies, demographic data, clinical outcome scores, range of motion measurements, and postoperative complications were obtained. RESULTS A total of 11 studies were included for data analysis. Compared with the primary Latarjet cohort, revision Latarjet cohorts had a higher infection rate (1.2% vs. 2.6%; RR 0.46, P = .039). The primary Latarjet group showed a greater rate of return to sport (89.7% vs. 80.5%; RR 1.12, P = .41) and less subjective feeling of instability (12.6% vs. 20.9%; RR 0.60, P = .085) compared with the revision Latarjet group; however, this was not statistically significant. There were no significant differences in complication rates, reoperation, recurrence, and range of motion between primary Latarjet and revision Latarjet groups. Clinical outcome scores such as visual analog scale and Rowe scores were not significantly different between the cohorts. CONCLUSION Based on the current evidence, primary Latarjet presents reduced infection rates but similar clinical outcome measures, overall complication, and range of motion measurements than revision Latarjet performed after failed prior operative treatment.

Abstract
Background Glenohumeral dislocations often lead to glenoid bone loss and recurrent instability, warranting bony augmentation. While numerous biomechanical studies have investigated fixation methods to secure a graft to the glenoid, a review of available constructs has yet to be performed. Purpose To synthesize the literature and compare the biomechanics of screw and suture button constructs for anterior glenoid bony augmentation. Study Design Systematic review. Methods A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. There were 2 independent reviewers who performed a literature search using the PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar databases of studies published between 1950 and 2020. Studies were included that compared the biomechanical outcomes of fixation for the treatment of anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss. Results Overall, 13 of the 363 studies screened met the inclusion criteria. The included studies measured the biomechanical strength of screws or suture buttons on a cadaveric or synthetic Latarjet construct. Screws and suture buttons were biomechanically similar, as both constructs exhibited comparable loads at failure and final displacement. Screw type (diameter, threading, or composition) did not significantly affect construct strength, and double-screw fixation was superior to single-screw fixation. Additionally, 2 screws augmented with a small plate had a higher load at failure than screws that were not augmented. Unicortical double-screw fixation was inferior to bicortical double-screw fixation, although construct strength did not significantly decrease if 1 of these screws was unicortical. Further, 2 screws inserted at 15° off axis experienced significantly higher graft displacement and lower ultimate failure loads than those inserted at 0° parallel to the glenoid. Conclusion Suture buttons provided comparable strength to screws and offer an effective alternative to reduce screw-related complications. Augmentation with a small plate may clinically enhance construct strength and decrease complications through the dispersion of force loads over a greater surface area. Differences in screw type did not appear to alter construct strength, provided that screws were placed parallel to the articular surface and were bicortical.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reconstruction techniques for anterior glenoid bone loss have seen a trend from screws to suture-based fixations. However, comparative biomechanical data, including primary fixation and glenoid-graft contact pressure mapping, are limited. HYPOTHESIS Suture-based bone block cerclage (BBC) and suspensory suture button (SB) techniques provide similar primary fixation and cyclic stability to double-screw fixation but with higher contact loading at the bony interface. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS In total, 60 cadaveric scapulae were prepared to simulate anterior glenoid bone loss with coracoid autograft reconstruction. Graft fixation was performed with 3 different techniques: (1) an interconnected all-suture BBC, (2) 2 SB suspensions, and (3) 2 screws. Initial compression was analyzed during primary fixation. Cyclic peak loading with 50 N and 100 N over 250 cycles at 1 Hz was performed with a constant valley load of 25 N. Optical recording and pressure foils allowed for spatial bone block tracking and contact pressure mapping at the glenoid-graft interface. Load-to-failure testing was performed at a rate of 1.5 mm/s with ultimate load and stiffness measured. RESULTS Initial graft compression was higher with screw fixation (141 ± 5 N) compared with suture-based fixations (P < .001), with BBC fixation providing significantly higher compression than SB fixation (116 ± 7 N vs. 91 ± 5 N; P < .001). Spatial bone block migration and ultimate failure load were similar between the BBC and screw groups. The SB group showed significantly increased bone block translation (3.1 ± 1.0 mm; P≤ .014) and rotation (2.5°± 1.4°; P≤ .025) and significantly lower ultimate failure load (180 ± 53 N) compared with the BBC (P = .046) and screw (P = .002) groups. Both suture-based fixations provided significantly increased graft-glenoid contact loading with higher pressure amplitudes (P≤ .032) and contact pressure after cyclic loading (+13%; SB: P = .007; BBC: P = .004) compared with screw fixation. CONCLUSION Both SB and interconnected cerclage fixation improved dynamic contact loading compared with screw fixation in a biomechanical glenoid bone loss model. Cerclage fixation was biomechanically comparable with screw fixation but with a greater variability. SB fixation showed significantly lower primary fixation strength and greater bone block rotation and migration. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Suture-based bone block fixations improved graft-glenoid contact loading, but the overall clinical consequence on healing remains unclear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arthroscopically modified Eden-Hybinette procedures for glenohumeral stabilization have been used for a long time. With the advancement of arthroscopic techniques and the development of sophisticated instruments, a double Endobutton fixation system has been used clinically to secure bone graft to the glenoid rim placed through a specifically designed guide. The purpose of this report was to evaluate clinical outcomes and serial glenoid remodeling process following all-arthroscopic anatomical glenoid reconstruction using autologous iliac crest bone grafting technique through 1-tunnel fixation. METHODS Forty-six patients with recurrent anterior dislocations and significant glenoid defects greater than 20% underwent arthroscopic surgery with a modified Eden-Hybinette technique. Instead of firm fixation, autologous iliac bone graft was fixed to the glenoid by double Endobutton fixation system through 1-tunnel placed in the glenoid surface. Follow-up examinations were performed at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. The patients were followed up for a minimum of two years using the Rowe score, the Constant score, the Subjective Shoulder Value, and the Walch-Duplay score; patient satisfaction with the procedure outcome was also rated. Graft positions, healing, and absorption were evaluated postoperatively with computed tomography imaging. RESULTS At a mean follow-up of 28 months, all patients were satisfied and had a stable shoulder. The Constant score improved from 82.9 to 88.9 points (P < .001), the Rowe score, improved from 25.3 to 89.1 points (P < .001), the Subjective Shoulder Value improved from 31% to 87% (P < .001), and the Walch-Duplay score improved from 52.5 to 85.7 points (P < .001). One donor-site fracture occurred during the follow-up period. All grafts were well-positioned and achieved optimal bone healing with zero excessive absorption. The preoperative glenoid surface (72.6% ± 4.5%) increased significantly immediately after surgery to 116.5% ± 9.6% (P < .001). After a physiological remodeling process, the glenoid surface remained significantly increased at the last follow-up (99.2% ± 7.1%) (P < .001). The glenoid surface area appeared to decrease serially when compared between the first 6 months and 12 months postoperatively, while there was no significant interval change between 12 and 24 months postoperatively. CONCLUSION Patient outcomes were satisfactory following the all-arthroscopic modified Eden-Hybinette procedure using an autologous iliac crest grafting technique through one-tunnel fixation system with double Endobutton. Graft absorption mostly occurred on the edge and outside the ''best-fit'' circle of the glenoid. Glenoid remodeling occurred within the first year after all-arthroscopic glenoid reconstruction with an auto iliac bone graft.

Abstract
Background Because rugby is a collision sport, it exposes players to a high risk of recurrence after anterior shoulder stabilization. Therefore, the choice of surgical procedure warrants close attention in order to optimize the time to return to sport and the stability of the shoulder throughout the player's career. Hypothesis The open Latarjet procedure would allow for a faster return to play and provide a lower rate of recurrence than the open Bankart repair at long-term follow-up. Study Design Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods The study retrospectively enrolled 62 competitive rugby players who had undergone an anterior shoulder instability procedure and had at least 5 years of follow-up data. A total of 32 players treated with an open Bankart repair (BK group) were compared with 30 players (31 shoulders) treated with an open Latarjet procedure (LT group). Outcomes between groups were compared with the Rowe score, Walch-Duplay score, recurrence rate, and osteoarthritis evaluation on plain radiograph (Samilson classification). Results The recurrence rate was significantly higher at 18.8% for the BK group (mean follow-up, 6.9 ± 1.7 years) compared with 3.3% for the LT group (mean follow-up, 6.2 ± 1.4 years) (P = .04). No postoperative complications occurred in the BK group, whereas 1 infection and 1 hematoma required a second surgery in the LT group (P = .14). In the BK and LT groups, 97% and 90% of players, respectively, were able to return to rugby at the same level or higher (P = .27), at a mean time of 8 and 6.3 months, respectively (P = .03). The mean Rowe and Walch-Duplay scores were not significantly different between the groups; however, the osteoarthritis rate was significantly higher in the BK versus the LT group (68% vs 38%, respectively; P = .03); 23% of patients, all in the BK group, had Samilson grade 2 osteoarthritis. Conclusion The open Latarjet procedure outperformed the open Bankart procedure in terms of stability, time to return to play, and radiological outcomes at long-term follow-up in competitive rugby players.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glenohumeral joint contact loading before and after glenoid bone grafting for recurrent anterior instability remains poorly understood. PURPOSE To develop a computational model to evaluate the influence of glenoid bone loss and graft positioning on graft and cartilage contact pressures after the Latarjet procedure. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS A finite element model of the shoulder was developed using kinematics, muscle and glenohumeral joint loading of 6 male participants. Muscle and joint forces at 90° of abduction and external rotation were calculated and employed in simulations of the native shoulder, as well as the shoulder with a Bankart lesion, 10% and 25% glenoid bone loss, and after the Latarjet procedure. RESULTS A Bankart lesion as well as glenoid bone loss of 10% and 25% significantly increased glenoid and humeral cartilage contact pressures compared with the native shoulder (P < .05). The Latarjet procedure did not significantly increase glenoid cartilage contact pressure. With 25% glenoid bone loss, the Latarjet procedure with a graft flush with the glenoid and the humerus positioned at the glenoid half-width resulted in significantly increased humeral cartilage contact pressure compared with that preoperatively (P = .023). Under the same condition, medializing the graft by 1 mm resulted in humeral cartilage contact pressure comparable with that preoperatively (P = .097). Graft lateralization by 1 mm resulted in significantly increased humeral cartilage contact pressure in both glenoid bone loss conditions (P < .05). CONCLUSION This modeling study showed that labral damage and greater glenoid bone loss significantly increased glenoid and humeral cartilage contact pressures in the shoulder. The Latarjet procedure may mitigate this to an extent, although glenoid and humeral contact loading was sensitive to graft placement. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The Latarjet procedure with a correctly positioned graft should not lead to increased glenohumeral joint contact loading. The present study suggests that lateral graft overhang should be avoided, and in the situation of large glenoid bone defects, slight medialization (ie, 1 mm) of the graft may help to mitigate glenohumeral joint contact overloading.

Abstract
Objective Latarjet procedure is often preferred in recurrent shoulder dislocations accompanied by glenoid bone loss. It is observed that the superiority of bone graft fixation methods is still controversial. The aim of this study is to biomechanically compare the bone graft fixation methods in the Latarjet procedure. Methods 15 third-generation scapula bone models were divided into 3 groups. Graft was fixated in the first group with fully-threaded cortical screws of 3.5mm diameter, in the second group two 16 mm partially-threaded cannulated screws of 4.5mm diameter, and in the third group via a mini plate and screw. The hemispherical humeral head was placed on the tip of the cyclic charge device, and thus, the charge applied to the coracoid graft was homogeneous. Results No statistically significant difference was found between paired comparisons (p>0.05). The forces in 5 mm displacement in total vary between 502-857N. Total stiffness measurements ranged between 105 and 625; the mean value was 258.13±53.54 with no statistically significant difference by groups (p = 0.958). Conclusion This biomechanical study showed that there is no difference between three coracoid fixation options in terms of fixation strength. Unlike previous assumptions, plate fixation is not biomechanically superior to screw fixation. Surgeons should consider their personal preferences and experience in choosing fixation methods.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Latarjet procedure provides satisfactory functional results, with low rates of recurrence. It is, however, sometimes claimed to induce osteoarthritis due to the positioning of the bone-block and hardware. The aims of the present study were to assess the long-term prevalence of osteoarthritis following the procedure, to determine risk factors and assess clinical impact. The study hypothesis was that osteoarthritis risk can be reduced by good bone-block positioning. The secondary objective was to assess long-term recurrence of instability. MATERIALS AND METHODS Out of a cohort of 102 patients (106 shoulders) operated on between 1984 and 1998, 77 had complete radiology files for analysis in a previous study published in 2003. Forty-four of these patients were seen again for clinical and radiological assessment at a mean 22 years' follow-up, to be compared to results previously reported at 8 years. Clinical assessment comprised range of motion and Constant and Walch-Duplay scores. X-rays were taken systematically to determine Samilson osteoarthritis stage; 31 patients also underwent CT. RESULTS In the 44 patients, the rate of osteoarthritis was 34.1%. 90.9% of patients were satisfied. Mean Constant score was 83.5±14 and mean Walch-Duplay score was 71.6±23.4. Advanced age at surgery and at assessment, length of follow-up and age >30 years at first episode of instability were the main factors for onset of osteoarthritis, independently of surgery. Lateral bone-block overhang correlated with onset of osteoarthritis: 71.4%, versus 16.7% in medial or flush bone-block (p=0.0004). Humeral notch, glenoid bone defect and number of preoperative episodes of instability were unrelated to onset of osteoarthritis. Lateral bone-block overhang was the only risk factor related to surgery. The clinical impact of the osteoarthritis was significant only in advanced stages (Samilson 3 and 4). CONCLUSION Lateral bone-block overhang was the only surgical risk factor for osteoarthritis in the long-term. Strict coracoid positioning is therefore essential, and could be facilitated by specific instrumentation and by arthroscopy. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV; retrospective study.

Abstract
Recurrence of anterior instability after a Latarjet procedure with persistent glenoid bone loss can be related to coracoid bone block resorption, migration, or malposition. Multiple options are available to address anterior glenoid bone loss, including autograft bone transfers (such as iliac crest graft, distal clavicle autograft) or allografts (distal tibia allograft). Here, we present the use of the remnant coracoid process as an option for consideration in the treatment of glenoid bone loss after failed Latarjet procedure with persistent glenoid bone loss. The remnant coracoid autograft is harvested and transferred inside the glenohumeral joint, through the rotator interval, and fixed using cortical buttons. This arthroscopic procedure includes using 1) glenoid and coracoid drilling guides to optimize graft positioning and making the procedure more reproducible and safer and 2) a suture tensioning device to provide intraoperative graft compression and ensure bone graft healing.

Abstract
Background: Recurrent shoulder dislocation leading to shoulder instability is a cumbersome clinical problem for patients and orthopedicians. Due to a lack of knowledge in young patients of developing countries, there is a delay in presentation from the first time of dislocation. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the functional and radiographic outcomes of patients with shoulder instability after the Congruent Arc Latarjet procedure. Methods: From January 2018 to November 2021, 20 patients with history of recurrent shoulder dislocation having glenohumeral instability were treated surgically in our institute. Open Congruent Arc Latarjet procedure was performed in 20 patients. Functional outcomes were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively based on American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, ROWE score, and Active range of motion in the diseased shoulder. Results: Twenty shoulders of 20 patients were evaluated for a mean period of 24 months postoperatively. At the time of the latest consultation, the range of motion and the shoulder functional evaluations based on ROWE score which was 89.64 ± 5.71 (range 80–95) improved from 20.36 ± 8.87 (range 10–30), p = 0.001. The mean preoperative ASES score was 22.60 ± 1.09 (range 20.6–25) which improved to 72.50 ± 7.33 (range 52.8–77.2), p = 0.001, which is definitely improved. The overall re-dislocation rate was 0% (0 of 20). In our study, 60% had excellent outcomes, 30% had good outcomes, and 10% had fair outcomes. Conclusion: The Congruent Arc Latarjet procedure for the treatment of recurrent shoulder dislocation with glenoid bone loss of >20% is a successful and efficient method with better outcomes in daily work profile and no further episode of redislocation.

Abstract
The surgical Latarjet procedure aims to stabilise the glenohumeral joint following anterior dislocations. Despite restoring joint stability, the procedure introduces alterations of muscle paths which likely modify the shoulder dynamics. Currently, these altered muscular functions and their implications are unclear. Hence, this work aims to predict changes in muscle lever arms, muscle and joint forces following a Latarjet procedure by using a computational approach. Planar shoulder movements of ten participants were experimentally assessed. A validated upper-limb musculoskeletal model was utilised in two configurations, i.e., a baseline model, simulating normal joint, and a Latarjet model simulating its related muscular alterations. Muscle lever arms and differences in muscle and joint forces between models were derived from the experimental marker data and static optimisation technique. Lever arms of most altered muscles, hence their role, were substantially changed after Latarjet. Altered muscle forces varied by up to 15% of the body weight. Total glenohumeral joint force increased by up to 14% of the body weight after Latarjet, mostly due to increase in compression force. Our simulation indicated that the Latarjet muscular alterations lead to changes in the muscular recruitment and contribute to the stability of the glenohumeral joint by increasing compression force during planar motions.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to compare the clinical results of revision Bankart repair versus the Latarjet procedure for failed Bankart repair. METHODS A literature search was performed in databases, such as Pubmed, Embase, and Scopus Library. The studies were appraised using the Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies tool. Studies for failed Bankart repair with revision Bankart repair or Latarjet procedure were included. The pain VAS, ROWE score, rate of return to sports and preinjury level of sports, recurrent instability, range of motion, and complications were compared. Additionally, the pain VAS, ROWE score, forward flexion, and external rotation at side were subjected to a meta-analysis. RESULTS Twenty-four articles were included in the systematic review. The functional outcomes in terms of the ROWE score, recurrent instability, return to sports, and the preinjury level of sports was better in the Latarjet procedure group than those in the revision Bankart repair group (ROWE score, 91 vs. 86.7; recurrent instability rate, 3.5% vs. 14.4%; return to sports rate, 100% vs. 87.9%; return to preinjury level of sports rate, 89.9% vs. 74.9%; all P < 0.001). However, the results of postoperative pain and the postoperative limitation of external rotation at side were worse in the Latarjet procedure group than those in the revision Bankart repair group (pain VAS, 1.4 vs. 0.8; postoperative external rotation at side, 38° vs. 60°; all P < 0.001). In addition, the majority of the complications occurred in the Latarjet procedure group. In the meta-analysis, the postoperative ROWE score was significantly higher in the Latarjet procedure group than that in the revision Bankart group (revision Bankart repair: 95% CI 88.9-80.9, I2 = 65.70; Latarjet procedure: 95% CI 95.8-88.1, I2 = 93.37; P = 0.014). However, the pain VAS, forward flexion, and external rotation at side did not reach the significant level in the meta-analysis. CONCLUSION Compared with revision Bankart repair, the Latarjet procedure for failed Bankart repair showed better ROWE scores, stability, and return to sports or preinjury level of sports; however, the postoperative pain and the limitation of external rotation at side were worse with more complications.

Abstract
Bone loss has been identified as a risk factor for recurrent shoulder dislocations or failure after soft tissue repair. Although the range for "critical" bone loss is yet to be determined, glenoid and humeral bone defects should not be regarded as independent problems, but the interaction between them during shoulder motion should be evaluated as suggested by the glenoid track concept. The glenoid track concept is now widely accepted and considered essential for making decisions about surgery. Soft-tissue procedures usually work well in patients with on-track Hill-Sachs lesions but in off-track lesions do not. In this situation additional procedures should be performed.Different surgical options have been described to address off-track Hill-Sachs lesions, most commonly remplissage, Latarjet or free bone block procedures. Coracoid graft and free bone grafts convert the off-track Hill-Sachs lesion into on-track by lengthening the glenoid-track, whereas remplissage fill-in the humeral lesion so that it does not engage. In the setting of a Hill-Sachs lesion with little or no glenoid bone loss, remplissage has demonstrated satisfactory outcomes with a low complications and recurrence rate. Favorable results have been reported with glenoid bone grafting when managing isolated Hill-Sachs or bipolar lesions. Studies analyzing Latarjet and Eden-Hybinette procedures show that both procedures are safe and effective in the management of anterior glenohumeral instability. Attention should be paid to those patients with large bone defects not amenable to be restored with an isolated Latarjet that may be better addressed with an Eden-Hybinnete or adding a remplissage to the Latarjet procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary purpose was to compare coracoid graft resorption after the Latarjet procedure in patients without preoperative glenoid bone loss vs. those with more than critical glenoid loss. The secondary purposes were to compare the functional outcomes and to investigate the association of graft position, angle of the screws, preoperative glenoid defect, age at surgery, and smoking status with graft resorption. METHODS Sixty consecutive patients with recurrent anterior instability were treated by the Latarjet procedure as the index procedure, irrespective of the glenoid bone loss between 2018 and 2021. Fifty-five patients were evaluated via computed tomography scans after a minimum of 1 year after surgery (range: 1-4 years). Twenty-five patients had no prior glenoid defect (No-defect group), 24 patients had preoperative glenoid defects ≥15% (Critical defect group), and 6 patients had glenoid defects between 5% and 15%. The No-defect group (n = 25) was compared with the Critical defect group (n = 24). Multivariate logistical regression was performed to evaluate the association of independent factors with the grade of resorption for all 55 patients in the cohort. RESULTS Major graft resorption at the level of the superior screw was observed in 72%-84% of patients in the No-defect group (n = 25) and in 75%-83% of patients in the Critical defect group (n = 24) (P = 1, P = 1; no significant difference). No to mild resorption at the level of the inferior screw was observed in 96% of patients in the No-defect group and 100% of patients in the Critical defect group (P = 1; no significant difference). Postoperative Rowe scores (100 [95-100] vs. 100 [95-100]; P = .8) and shoulder subjective value (87 [11] vs. 86 [9]; P = .9) were not significantly different between the 2 groups. None of the independent factors, including the corresponding screw angle, the mediolateral graft positioning, prior glenoid defect, age, and smoking status, were associated with graft resorption in multivariate logistical regression. CONCLUSIONS Graft resorption after the Latarjet procedure does not depend on the preoperative glenoid defect. The coracoid graft may be mostly resorbed around the superior screw but mildly or none at the level of the inferior screw, but this graft resorption is not dependent on the smoking status, age, prior glenoid defect, mediolateral graft positioning, and the angle of the screws.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The arthroscopic Latarjet procedure is a technically challenging technique that provides well-known results. The first series reported fixation with screws. An alternative fixation technique has been proposed, using a button, to improve the reproducibility and to decrease the complications due to screws. The first reports using this fixation technique have yielded comparable rates of fusion. The objective of this study was to assess the fusion rate and bone modifications with this type of fixation. METHODS Two hundred sixteen patients were included in this prospective study. An arthroscopic Latarjet procedure, fixed with 1 button according to the Smith & Nephew technique, was performed by a single surgeon for the treatment of anterior instability. The radiographic protocol consisted of computed tomography scans at 3, 12, and 24 weeks postoperatively. We measured the coronal and sagittal positions of the bone block, distance between the bone block and the glenoid, diameter of the glenoid tunnel, fusion rate, and time to fusion. RESULTS The position was deemed flush in 92.6% of cases in the coronal plane and under the equator in 87.5% of cases in the sagittal plane. At last follow-up, we observed 9 cases of nonunion (4%), as well as 18 cases of delayed fusion. The fusion rate was 92% at 3 months and 96% at 6 months. For bone blocks that ultimately healed, the diameter of the glenoid tunnel was <2 mm in 62% of cases at 3 weeks and <1 mm in 90% of cases at 3 months. Conversely, the diameter of this tunnel significantly increased and was >3 mm in all cases of delayed union or nonunion. CONCLUSION The described technique achieved a reliable position of the bone block and a very good fusion rate with a new type of fixation. The time to obtain fusion can be lengthy, occurring between the third and sixth months. The diameter of the glenoid tunnel was the best predictive factor for fusion. Widening of the glenoid tunnel diameter >3 mm during the first 3 weeks was the most predictive factor for delayed union or nonunion of the bone block. This finding is probably explained by a sliding effect of the sutures through this tunnel, comparable to the bungee effect in anterior cruciate ligament repair in the knee.

Abstract
Background Despite the extensive literature on anterior glenohumeral instability, to date, there are no studies that report on the quality of life following a Latarjet-Bristow procedure with recurrent anterior shoulder instability. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of life in patients who had a Latarjet-Bristow procedure. Methods A single-center retrospective review with a prospective recall of patients who underwent a Latarjet-Bristow technique for recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability between January 2017 and March 2020. Outcomes measures included health-related quality of life using the Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire and patient-related outcome measures using the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index and Rowe scores. Results A total of 66 patients were identified to participate in the study; 40 (60.6%) responded and were included in the analysis. There were nine females and 31 males, with a median age of 32 years (27.5‒41 years). Three cases had bilateral anterior shoulder instability with a single joint being operated and three patients were epileptic. Physical and mental components summary of the SF-36 showed a better health-related quality of life in the general population. There was a significant strong correlation between SF-36 and Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index. However, SF-36 and Rowe score showed a fair correlation. Conclusion The Latarjet-Bristow procedure improves the quality of life in a general population similarly to an athletic population. The number of episodes of dislocation before surgery and the delayed surgical intervention did not increase the recurrent anterior shoulder instability rates postoperatively.

Abstract
Chronic posttraumatic shoulder instability is characterized by trauma-associated, recurrent dislocations. Surgical treatment is indicated in most cases but it remains controversial how risk factors should be weighted to decide between arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR), Latarjet or alternative procedures. Known risk factors for recurrence are patient age, hyperlaxity, sports profile and bone loss. Surgical techniques are discussed in detail. The ABR leads to high patient satisfaction and return to sports; however, in association with risk factors, recurrent dislocations are seen even several years later. Latarjet or bone block procedures lead to high patient satisfaction, sustainable stability as a revision procedure, but can also be primarily indicated for chronic instability depending on risk factors. Early complications are more frequent but of a minor nature in most cases. All techniques are known for a serious learning curve. If performed well, they do not seem to increase the risk of arthritis, which is most affected by the number of lifetime dislocations and higher energy trauma.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report on intraoperative and short-term postoperative adverse events after open Latarjet procedure in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability. These complications were classified into different grades of severity based on the treatment required and the learning curve of the procedure. METHODS Ninety-six patients (102 shoulders) underwent open Latarjet procedure for recurrent post-traumatic anterior glenohumeral instability between 2012 and 2020. The minimum duration of patients' follow-up was 6 months. Adverse events were classified into 3 classes based on the severity and subsequent treatment. The complications in the first 50% of all cases were compared with the latter 50% to evaluate the role of learning curve on the complication rates. RESULTS The mean follow-up was 7.2 ± 2.8 months. The patients' mean age was 26.7 ± 8.9 years and consisted of 83 (86.4%) male and 13 (13.6%) female patients. The total adverse events rate was 18.6%. Adverse events requiring no additional treatment (class 1) occurred in 6 cases (5.8%) including fibrous union (3.9%) and asymptomatic resorption of the graft (1.9%). Adverse events requiring additional or extended nonoperative management (class 2) occurred in 8 cases (7.8%), including coracoid fracture (2.9%), musculocutaneous nerve palsy (1.9%), axillary nerve palsy (0.9%), suprascapular nerve palsy (0.9%), and stiffness (0.9%). All the nerve palsies recovered without long-term sequelae. Adverse events requiring secondary operative procedures (class 3) occurred in 5 cases (4.9%), including symptomatic hardware (1.9%), medial healing of the graft (0.9%), screw loosening (0.9%), and deep infection (0.9%). The rate of adverse events in revision cases was higher than primary cases in 11.7% and 6.8%, respectively (P = .119). The complication rate was significantly higher in the first half of the surgeons' practice (14.7%) than in the second half (3.9%) (P ≤ .05). CONCLUSIONS The overall complication rate reported in this open Latarjet series is 18.6%; however, the rate of class 3 adverse events that required additional surgery or long-term medical treatment was only 4.9%. Revision cases had a higher rate of complications than primary cases, and the learning curve has had a significant impact on the rate of adverse events.

Influence of Graft Positioning during the Latarjet Procedure on Shoulder Stability and Articular Contact Pressure: Computational Analysis of the Bone Block Effect. BIOLOGY 2022; 11:biology11121783.

Abstract
The Latarjet procedure is the most popular surgical procedure to treat anterior glenohumeral (GH) instability in the presence of large anterior glenoid bone defects. Even though the placement of the bone graft has a considerable influence on its efficacy, no clear indications exist for the best graft position. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the medial-lateral positioning of the bone graft on the contact mechanics and GH stability due to the bone block effect. Four finite element (FE) models of a GH joint, with a 20% glenoid bone defect, treated by the Latarjet procedure were developed. The FE models differed in the medial-lateral positioning of the bone graft, ranging from a flush position to a 4.5 mm lateral position with respect to the flush position. All graft placement options were evaluated for two separate shoulder positions. Anterior GH instability was simulated by translating the humeral head in the anterior direction, under a permanent compressive force, until the peak translation force was reached. Joint stability was computed as the ratio between the shear and the compressive components of the force. The lateralization of the bone graft increased GH stability due to the bone block effect after a 3 mm lateralization with respect to the flush position. The increase in GH stability was associated with a concerning increase in peak contact pressure due to the incongruous contact between the articulating surfaces. The sensitivity of the contact pressures to the medial-lateral positioning of the bone graft suggests a trade-off between GH stability due to the bone block effect and the risk of osteoarthritis, especially considering that an accurate and consistent placement of the bone graft is difficult in vivo.
