About Bristow Latarjet Procedure

The Bristow-Latarjet procedure is a specialized orthopedic surgery designed to treat recurrent shoulder dislocations, particularly when there is significant bone loss from the glenoid (shoulder socket). This procedure involves transferring a piece of the coracoid process, a bony prominence of the scapula, along with its attached tendons, to the front of the glenoid. This transfer serves a dual purpose: it acts as a bone block to prevent the humeral head from slipping forward, and the transferred tendons provide dynamic stability. It is considered a highly effective and definitive solution for complex shoulder instability, especially in young, active patients or athletes, offering a high rate of return to sports and a low recurrence rate of dislocations.

Key Highlights

Highly effective for treating recurrent shoulder instability with bone loss.Provides both a static bone block and dynamic muscular stabilization.Offers a very low rate of recurrent dislocations post-surgery.Often allows a return to high-demand activities and contact sports.Considered a definitive procedure for complex instability cases.

Who is this surgery for?

Recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations, especially in young, active individuals.
Significant bone loss from the front of the glenoid socket (bony Bankart lesion).
Failed previous soft-tissue stabilization surgery (e.g., arthroscopic Bankart repair).
Instability in athletes involved in contact or overhead sports.
Instability associated with a large Hill-Sachs lesion (impaction fracture of the humeral head).

How to prepare

Comprehensive medical evaluation and clearance for surgery.
Detailed imaging studies, including CT scans, to assess bone loss.
Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) as advised by the doctor.
Fasting for 8-12 hours prior to the scheduled surgery time.
Arranging for post-operative assistance at home for daily activities.

Risks & possible complications

Infection at the surgical site.
Nerve or blood vessel injury, potentially affecting sensation or movement.
Stiffness or reduced range of motion in the shoulder.
Hardware-related issues (pain, loosening) from the screws used to fix the bone block.
Recurrence of instability, though this risk is low with this procedure.
Non-union or malunion of the transferred bone block.

Recovery & hospital stay

The arm is immobilized in a sling for approximately 3-4 weeks to protect the healing bone transfer.
Passive range-of-motion exercises begin early, guided by a physical therapist.
Active strengthening exercises typically start after 6 weeks, once bone healing is confirmed.
Full recovery and return to non-contact sports can take 4-6 months.
Return to contact sports or heavy labor is usually advised after 6-9 months, following medical clearance.
Regular follow-up appointments and X-rays are crucial to monitor healing progress.

Typical hospital stay: 2-3 days
Expected recovery time: 4-6 months for full functional recovery
