When do you use Latarjet?

When do you use Latarjet?

The Latarjet procedure is a technique used to restore stability to the shoulder joint. Developed by a French surgeon in the 1950s, it is commonly performed when there is significant bone loss in the front of the glenoid (the shallow socket in the shoulder blade) from repeat dislocations.

Why is it called Latarjet?

What is the Latarjet procedure? This innovative treatment offered by Dr. Nikhil Verma, is also known as the Latarjet-Bristow procedure and is named after the French surgeon who first described the procedure in 1954. It is used to treat shoulder instability and recurrent shoulder dislocations.

What is an open Latarjet procedure?

This operation is performed to stabilise a shoulder where bone damage has occurred after traumatic shoulder dislocation(s). It is performed under general anaesthesia and nerve block as a day case, or with overnight stay. An incision is made over the front of your shoulder.

What can I expect after Latarjet surgery?

Rehabilitation following Latarjet surgery lasts for at least 4-6 months. The initial phases of rehabilitation are needed to protect the shoulder sufficiently to allow for full bone healing. Therefore, the mobility is restricted for the first few months while bone healing occurs.

Is Latarjet surgery painful?

Arthroscopic Latarjet procedure is an efficient and reliable approach for the treatment of shoulder instability. Nevertheless, the screws fixing the bone block may sometimes be responsible for pain and uncomfortable snapping in the shoulder that is triggered during active external rotation.

How successful is Latarjet procedure?

A larger scale study with 180 arthroscopic Latarjet procedures found that patient-reported outcomes have 91% excellent scores and 9% good at 26 months (5). However, the long term outcomes of arthroscopic Latarjet procedure have not been fully studied previously.

Is Latarjet procedure painful?

How long is a Latarjet surgery?

An open Latarjet procedure normally takes approximately 90 minutes, depending on injury severity and any other associated shoulder injuries. During the procedure, Dr. Provencher will create an incision at the front of the shoulder.

How long does a Latarjet procedure last?

Is the Latarjet procedure good for all patients who have recurrent shoulder dislocation?

We hypothesize that Bristow-Latarjet procedure is effective in all types of traumatic recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations, although in cases with Bankart lesion, Bankart operation is certainly preferred.

Is Latarjet surgery good?

Latarjet surgery is a highly successful form of treatment for patients who experience recurrent shoulder dislocations. With almost every dislocation, there is some bone loss in the glenoid. This bone loss leaves a patient at greater risk of a repeat dislocation if they don’t have surgery to deal with the bone loss.

How successful is Latarjet surgery?

A larger scale study with 180 arthroscopic Latarjet procedures found that patient-reported outcomes have 91% excellent scores and 9% good at 26 months (5).

What is the Latarjet procedure?

The Latarjet procedure is a surgical procedure performed to treat shoulder instability by relocating a piece of bone with an attached tendon to the shoulder joint.

Is revision necessary for failed Latarjet surgery for anterior shoulder instability?

Background: The Latarjet procedure is an established and popular procedure for recurrent anterior shoulder instability; however, to our knowledge, few studies have reported on the outcomes of revision for failed Latarjet surgery. We reviewed the causes and management of recurrent instability after previous Latarjet stabilization surgery.

What is the most common cause of recurrence after Latarjet stabilization?

Coracoid nonunion was the most common cause of recurrence after Latarjet stabilization, requiring an Eden-Hybinette procedure. The patients who returned with posterior instability had a high incidence of hypermobility and could be treated successfully by arthroscopic techniques. Failed Latarjet surgery: why, how, and what next? JSES Int.

What is the Latarjet procedure for glenoid fracture?

Procedure. The Latarjet procedure involves the removal and transfer of a section of the coracoid process and its attached muscles to the front of the glenoid. This placement of the coracoid acts as a bone block which, combined with the transferred muscles acting as a strut, prevents further dislocation of the joint.
