چکیده

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine quantitatively whether the Latarjet procedure (coracoid transfer to the glenoid) is sufficient to restore a significant defect area of the glenoid. METHODS Fourteen cadaveric shoulders were used (mean age, 76 years; range, 72 to 87 years). An anteroinferior glenoid defect was created and then the coracoid osteotomized to its angle and transferred to the defect. A 3-dimensional computed tomography scan was used to calculate the surface area of (1) the intact glenoid, (2) the osteotomized glenoid, and (3) the reconstructed glenoid. RESULTS The mean area of the intact inferior glenoid was 734 +/- 89 mm(2). After creation of the defect, the surface area of the glenoid was reduced significantly to 523 +/- 55 mm(2) (P = .011). The mean defect area was 28.7% +/- 6% of the intact glenoid. After coracoid transfer, the mean surface area of the reconstructed glenoid was 708 +/- 71 mm(2) but it was not significantly smaller than that of the intact glenoid (P = .274). The mean surface area of the coracoid that was used to repair the defect was 198 +/- 34 mm(2), or 27% +/- 5% of the intact glenoid. CONCLUSIONS In our cadaveric model, a mean 29% defect size of the inferior glenoid was restored to normal after coracoid transfer by use of the Latarjet procedure. CLINICAL RELEVANCE In the clinical scenario, the existence of a glenoid bone defect of more than 25% to 30% is very rare in patients with anterior shoulder instability. Therefore, when clinically indicated, large bony defects of the anterior glenoid can be adequately treated by the Latarjet procedure.

Dynamic Anterior Stabilization Using the Long Head of the Biceps for Anteroinferior Glenohumeral Instability

Anteroinferior glenohumeral instability can be treated by variants of the Bankart repair, remplissage, and the Latarjet procedure, although all options remain associated with complications, including recurrence, stiffness, persistent pain, apprehension, and dislocation arthropathy. The authors therefore thought of a concept of dynamic anterior stabilization to treat anteroinferior glenohumeral ...

Biomechanical Comparison of the Latarjet Procedure with and without Capsular Repair.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine if capsular repair used in conjunction with the Latarjet procedure results in significant alterations in glenohumeral rotational range of motion and translation. METHODS Glenohumeral rotational range of motion and translation were measured in eight cadaveric shoulders in 90° of abduction in both the scapular and coronal planes under the fo...

Arthroscopic Bristow-Latarjet Combined With Bankart Repair Restores Shoulder Stability in Patients With Glenoid Bone Loss

BACKGROUND Arthroscopic Bankart repair alone cannot restore shoulder stability in patients with glenoid bone loss involving more than 20% of the glenoid surface. Coracoid transposition to prevent recurrent shoulder dislocation according to Bristow-Latarjet is an efficient but controversial procedure. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We determined whether an arthroscopic Bristow-Latarjet procedure with conc...
