About Arthroscopic Latarjet

The Arthroscopic Latarjet procedure is a minimally invasive surgical technique performed by orthopedic surgeons to treat recurrent shoulder instability, particularly when there is significant bone loss from the glenoid (shoulder socket). This advanced procedure involves transferring a piece of bone from the coracoid process (a part of the shoulder blade) to the front of the glenoid using small incisions and an arthroscopic camera. This creates a 'bony block' that prevents the humeral head from dislocating forward. It is considered the gold standard for complex shoulder dislocations, offering greater stability than soft-tissue repairs alone. The arthroscopic approach minimizes tissue damage, reduces post-operative pain, and can lead to a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

Key Highlights

    Minimally invasive technique using small incisions and an arthroscope.Gold standard for treating shoulder instability with significant bone loss.Creates a strong, biological 'bony block' to prevent future dislocations.Typically results in lower recurrence rates compared to soft-tissue-only repairs.May allow for better visualization of the joint and associated injuries.Often leads to less post-operative pain and a quicker initial recovery than open surgery./ul

Who is this surgery for?

  • Recurrent anterior shoulder instability (dislocations) after failed conservative treatment.
  • Significant bone loss from the front of the glenoid socket (usually >20-25%).
  • Engaging Hill-Sachs lesions (bone defects on the humeral head).
  • Failed previous soft-tissue stabilization surgery (e.g., Bankart repair).
  • Instability in high-demand athletes or individuals with high-risk occupations.
  • Instability due to traumatic injury with associated bone defects.

How to prepare

  • Complete a thorough orthopedic evaluation, including physical exam and imaging (X-rays, CT scan, MRI).
  • Discuss medical history, allergies, and all current medications with the surgical team.
  • You may be asked to stop taking certain blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) days before surgery.
  • Arrange for assistance at home for the first few weeks post-surgery.
  • Follow pre-operative fasting instructions (typically no food or drink after midnight).
  • Plan for post-operative rehabilitation by meeting with a physical therapist.

Risks & possible complications

  • General surgical risks: Infection, bleeding, blood clots, or adverse reaction to anesthesia.
  • Nerve or blood vessel injury around the shoulder, potentially causing weakness or numbness.
  • Recurrence of instability, though the risk is lower than with other procedures.
  • Stiffness or reduced range of motion in the shoulder.
  • Hardware-related issues (pain, loosening) from the screws used to secure the bone block.
  • Non-union or malunion of the transferred coracoid bone graft.
  • Development of arthritis in the joint over the long term.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Immediately after surgery, the arm is placed in a sling for immobilization, typically for 3-6 weeks.
  • Pain is managed with prescribed medications and ice therapy to reduce swelling.
  • Early physical therapy focuses on gentle pendulum exercises and elbow/wrist/hand motion.
  • Gradual progression to active-assisted and then active range-of-motion exercises over several weeks.
  • Strengthening exercises usually begin after 6-12 weeks, once the bone has healed.
  • A full return to non-contact sports may take 4-6 months; contact sports may require 6-9 months or more.
  • Follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor healing and progress through the rehabilitation protocol.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 1-2 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 4-6 months for full functional recovery
