About Arthroscopic Latarjet
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.

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....
Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
