Free bone graft transfer may yield similar outcomes as Latarjet for shoulder instability
According to published results, free bone graft transfer and the Latarjet procedure demonstrated clinically similar outcomes for patients with anterior shoulder instability and glenoid bone loss at 5 years. Results showed the techniques had similar rates of successful stabilization. However, neither technique prevented the progression of instability arthropathy.
Latarjet procedure may be reliable in stabilizing shoulder dislocation with bone loss
“[The Latarjet] procedure has stood the test of time of being reliable in stabilizing these high-risk patients,” Romeo said in his presentation.
