About McLaughlin Procedure

The McLaughlin procedure is a specialized orthopedic surgery designed to treat chronic posterior shoulder instability, specifically addressing recurrent posterior shoulder dislocations or subluxations. This condition occurs when the shoulder's ball (humeral head) slips out of the socket (glenoid) toward the back of the body. The procedure involves transferring a portion of the subscapularis tendon, a major shoulder muscle, to fill a defect in the front of the humeral head. This bone defect, known as a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion, is created when the humeral head impacts the glenoid rim during a dislocation. By filling this defect, the transferred tendon acts as a block, preventing the humerus from slipping posteriorly and thereby restoring shoulder stability. It is a reliable option for patients who have not responded to conservative treatments like physical therapy.

Key Highlights

Effectively treats chronic, recurrent posterior shoulder instability.Addresses the underlying bone defect (reverse Hill-Sachs lesion) that causes instability.Utilizes the patient's own tissue (subscapularis tendon) for the repair, promoting natural healing.Restores shoulder stability and function, allowing a return to daily activities and sports.Offers a reliable surgical solution when non-surgical treatments have failed.

Who Is This Surgery For?

Recurrent posterior shoulder dislocations or subluxations.
A significant reverse Hill-Sachs lesion (impaction fracture) involving 20-40% of the humeral head.
Chronic posterior shoulder instability causing pain, weakness, or a feeling of the shoulder 'slipping'.
Failure of an adequate trial of conservative management, including physical therapy and activity modification.
Instability that interferes with work, sports, or activities of daily living.

How to Prepare

Complete a thorough physical examination and imaging studies (X-rays, CT scan, MRI) to confirm the diagnosis and assess the bone defect.
Discuss medical history, allergies, and current medications (including blood thinners) with the surgical team.
Undergo pre-operative blood tests and possibly a cardiac evaluation as advised.
Stop smoking and avoid anti-inflammatory medications (like ibuprofen) as directed to reduce surgical risks.
Arrange for post-operative assistance at home and plan for time off work or school.
Fast (no food or drink) for the period specified by the hospital before surgery.

Risks & Possible Complications

General surgical risks: infection, bleeding, blood clots (deep vein thrombosis), or adverse reaction to anesthesia.
Nerve or blood vessel injury around the shoulder, potentially causing weakness or numbness.
Stiffness or loss of shoulder motion (frozen shoulder).
Failure of the repair, leading to recurrent instability.
Persistent pain or weakness in the shoulder.
Rare complications like arthritis or complex regional pain syndrome.

Recovery & Hospital Stay

Immediately after surgery, the arm is placed in a shoulder immobilizer or sling to protect the repair.
Pain is managed with prescribed medications, and ice is applied to reduce swelling.
Early, gentle pendulum exercises are started soon after surgery to prevent stiffness.
A structured physical therapy program begins after 4-6 weeks, focusing first on restoring range of motion and later on strengthening.
The sling is typically worn for 4-6 weeks post-operatively.
Full recovery and return to sports or heavy labor can take 6 to 12 months, depending on progress.
Follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor healing and guide the rehabilitation process.
