Arthroscopic Latarjet procedure is an efficient and reliable approach for the treatment of shoulder instability. Nevertheless, the screws fixing the bone block may sometimes be responsible for pain and uncomfortable snapping in the shoulder that is triggered during active external rotation. We propose an all-arthroscopic technique for screw removal in cases of complications involving the screws from a Latarjet procedure. The all-arthroscopic screw removal is reliable and efficient.

Project description:Purpose To determine the rate of complications attributable to the use of screw fixation during the Latarjet procedure and to delineate screw-related complications for open and arthroscopic Latarjet surgery. Methods A systematic review of the literature was performed by querying MEDLINE and EMBASE computerized databases for relevant articles that reported clinical outcomes associated with the Latarjet procedure. Clinical studies of open and/or arthroscopic Latarjet surgery that employed screw fixation of the coracoid were included in our analysis. Results From 692 articles identified initially, 32 studies met eligibility criteria. The study cohort comprised 2,758 shoulders, with a mean age of patients ranged from 17 to 62 years, and the mean duration of follow-up ranged from 0.3 to 25.6 years. Twenty-two studies reported outcomes of an open Latarjet technique whereas 10 studies reported on an arthroscopic Latarjet technique. Across all studies, the overall complication rate ranged from 1.4% to 36%. The rate of screw-related complications ranged from 0% to16%, and the rate of screw removal ranged from 0% to 18%. Among the subset of studies that reported specific indications for screw removal, the most common indications were pain and screw loosening. Reported rates of screw-removal among arthroscopic Latarjet procedures range from 0% to 18% and among open procedures range from 0% to 7.3%. Conclusions (1) Up to one-third of the overall surgical complications associated with the Latarjet procedure may be related to the use of screw fixation, (2) arthroscopic Latarjet procedure did not decrease the rate of screw related complications. The reported rate of screw-removal may be higher after the arthroscopic Latarjet procedures (up to 18%) than after open procedures (up to 7,3%), and is mainly indicated for persistent shoulder pain and/or screw loosening. Level of Evidence Level IV, systematic review of Level III-IV studies.

Project description:The Latarjet procedure is very popular and is the method of choice in cases of glenoid bone loss and anterior-inferior instability or revision procedures. However, recurrence is common after this procedure. One of the methods of revision after the Latarjet procedure is the Eden-Hybinette technique. However, recurrence occurs after this bone grafting procedure as well. The primary reasons for recurrence are graft resorption and capsular deficiency. To improve these outcomes, transfer of the long head of the biceps for capsular reinforcement has been recommended by several authors. We describe an all-arthroscopic procedure, performed after the Latarjet technique, that combines bone block transfer, trans-subscapular transposition of the long head of the biceps, and anterior labroplasty. This technique can significantly reinforce the deficient capsule through the sling effect and cover the graft for prophylaxis against bone resorption.

Project description:Shoulder instability is a commonly seen pathology. The Latarjet procedure was first described in 1954 to address recurrent instability or patients with glenoid bone loss. Since its introduction, the procedure has been widely adopted and modified, including being performed all-arthroscopically. Various arthroscopic techniques have been described, but we present a technique performed in the lateral decubitus position that takes advantage of a pneumatic arm holder. After arthroscopic diagnosis, multiple accessory portals are established and used to accomplish the technique. Next, the coracoid is prepared and cut using a cannulated drill guide, followed by arthroscopic glenoid preparation using a cannulated drill system to ensure appropriate position of the coracoid. The subscapularis split is performed arthroscopically, and finally the coracoid is fixed with use of the EndoButton device.

Project description:Shoulder instability can be a challenging condition to treat when it becomes refractory to soft-tissue procedures or when bone loss exceeds 25% to 27% of the glenoid. The Bristow-Latarjet procedure has been developed and popularized to deal with these concerns. Traditionally, the procedure has been performed as an open approach; however, this has been recently supplanted by novel arthroscopic techniques. We present a technique for the procedure performed with the patient in a semi-lateral decubitus position that assists with optimal graft placement on the native glenoid. We use the cannulated Bristow-Latarjet Instability Shoulder System (DePuy Mitek, Raynham, MA). After a diagnostic arthroscopic evaluation, we use multiple arthroscopic anterior portals to debride the rim of the glenoid. The coracoid is prepared and taken down arthroscopically, and the cannulated guide is attached and advanced through an arthroscopically created subscapularis split. With the shoulder held in a reduced position, we are then able to drill and anchor the graft to the native glenoid. The patient is able to begin gentle range-of-motion exercises immediately postoperatively.

Project description:The Latarjet procedure is used for the treatment of anterior glenohumeral instability in the presence of bone loss. One decade after a fully arthroscopic Latarjet procedure was described, this technique has been modified to reduce the risk of complications and improve the fixation method. We aimed to simplify the components of this surgical procedure.

Project description:In the presence of bone loss, the Bristow or Latarjet procedure is used to alleviate anterior glenohumeral instability. The techniques have gradually improved under arthroscopy. However, such an arthroscopic procedure has a steep learning curve, lengthy operation time, and considerable risk of complications, inhibiting its rapid development. The current method of modified arthroscopic Bristow procedure with screw fixation without subscapularis split reduces surgical time, reduces the risk of nerve damage consequences, and is simple to apply. Technique Video Video 1 We present our modified arthroscopic Bristow procedure: screw fixation without subscapularis split. The patient is placed in the beach-chair position, and 5 portals are created. After performing a diagnostic arthroscopy examination, the coracoid process lower surface, tip, and base, and the conjoined tendon are identified. The soft tissue lateral to the conjoined tendon is released to a sufficient length to allow transferring the coracoid process. The coracoacromial ligament is excised at its coracoid insertion to expose its lateral and upper surfaces. Subsequently, the pectoralis minor muscle is released from the coracoid to ∼5 cm below the junctions between the pectoralis minor muscle and the conjoined tendon to ensure the transfer of the coracoid process will not be affected. A 1.2-mm K-wire is drilled into the coracoid under the guidance of a thin cannula. A PDS line is passed through the bone tunnel for traction and guidance. After ensuring an adequate length of the coracoid bone, it is osteotomized with a willow saw. Subsequently, the labrum and capsule are detached completely from the glenoid to the 6-o’clock position. The glenoid is refreshed by a burr. The upper edge of the subscapularis is pressed downwards by a switching stick until the 4-o’clock position of the anterior glenoid is exposed. A marking point is placed to assist in creating a tunnel at the 4-o’clock position. After drilling and measuring, a 1.2-mm K-wire is inserted into the tunnel to guide the screw. The coracoid is pulled out through portal D, its length is measured, and its osteotomy surface is trimmed to match the anterior glenoid surface. A hole is drilled from the center of the osteotomy surface to the tip of the coracoid with a 1.2-mm K-wire. The hole created by the 1.2-mm K-wire is drilled through with a 2.7-mm hollow drill. A cannulated screw with a diameter of 4 mm is implanted into the coracoid graft along the 1.2-mm K-wire, leaving 2 mm of the screw head above the osteotomy surface for the coracoid's final fixation. The lateral edge of the conjoined tendon is sutured with No. 2 ETHIBOND suture near the coracoid and kept sufficiently taut to prevent twisting during coracoid fixation. The coracoid with partial screw fixation is then inserted for the final fixation. The tip of the screw is positioned against the K-wire introduced through the glenoid tunnel in the previous phase. The K-wire is threaded through the screw, and the coracoid and screw are secured with a screwdriver. The final placement of the transferred coracoid is arthroscopically assessed through portal B. The postoperative anteroposterior radiograph shows that a single screw maintains the coracoid in place. The 3-dimensional computed tomography scan depicts the locations of the graft and screw. The transferred coracoid is seen at the 4-o’clock position, and the glenoid surface is well integrated with the coracoid graft’s surface. The scan also shows that the transferred coracoid is standing on the glenoid surface with a 90° rotation. (PDS, polydioxanone.).

Project description:The Latarjet procedure for treating anterior glenohumeral instability includes transfer of the coracoid and biceps tendon to the anterior glenoid. A modified method for the arthroscopic procedure was developed to facilitate the procedure and minimize the risk of injury to the brachial plexus. The detached coracoid was exteriorized through the anteroinferior portal for drilling and shaping. A Coracoid Drill Guide (Arthrex, Naples, FL) was used to help cut the coracoid to the desired size and make 2 drill holes in the coracoid for fixation to the glenoid. The Coracoid Transfer Instrument (Acierart, Masku, Finland) was designed to facilitate coracoid transfer and serve as a pin guide for fixation. Ten patients with severe anterior glenohumeral instability were treated with this technique. They had only mild to moderate postoperative pain. There were no postoperative infections or recurrent dislocations. The safety of this operation was similar to that of other operations on the coracoid process in the proximity of the brachial plexus. The modified arthroscopic Latarjet procedure may be applied successfully to the treatment of anterior glenohumeral instability, with good patient satisfaction and functional outcome.

Project description:BackgroundAs several neurologic and hardware complications have been reported with screw fixation. Suture buttons are used to serve as an alternative to screw fixation to obtain better outcome and to reduce the complication. The purpose of this study was to observe the clinical outcomes and make the radiologic assessment of a modified suture button (MSB) arthroscopic Latarjet procedure.MethodsA total of ninty-one patients with recurrent shoulder joint dislocation who underwent MSB arthroscopic Latarjet procedure was retrospectively reviewed. Fifty cases identified from the chart review met the inclusion criteria. The clinical outcomes and position of the grafts, glenohumeral degeneration, and graft healing condition were assessed postoperatively in a follow-up with at least one and half of a year.ResultsAll the fifty patients were satisfied with their clinical outcome. The overall complication rate was 4% in this study. The mean visual analog scale score, the affected shoulder active mobility in Ers(external rotation at the side), Era(external rotation in abduction) decreased significantly; the ASES score, Rowe score, Walch-Duplay score improved significantly. CT scans in the sagittal view showed that grafts in 88% of cases were in good position, grafts in 12% of cases were fixed too superiorly and inferiorly. In the axial view grafts in forty cases were flush with the glenoid rim, ten were considered as too lateral. The ten grafts became remodeled and were more flush with the glenoid rim in the follow-up.ConclusionsThe MSB arthroscopic Latarjet procedure provides excellent outcome with few complications, and no degenerative changes were observed in the follow-up. Moreover, the graft fixed too laterally presented a phenomenon of remodeling and became flush with the glenoid rim over time.

Project description:The recent innovative concept of dynamic anterior stabilization of the shoulder by long head of biceps tendon for anterior gleno-humeral instability management has gained growing popularity among shoulder surgeons. Different techniques using this concept have been reported. Nevertheless, these techniques share common steps of tenotomy, re-routing, trans-subscapularis transfer and bony glenoid fixation of long head of biceps. Lately, a simplified procedure of intra-articular soft arthroscopic Latarjet technique has been introduced to refer to soft tissue tenodesis of long head of biceps to subscapularis tendon by 2 simple stitches of nonabsorbable sutures following Bankart repair. For more technical simplicity and closer reproducibility of gleno-humeral restabilization mechanisms of Latarjet procedure; the current Technical Note describes the extra-articular soft arthroscopic Latarjet technique, whereby long head of biceps is retrieved to the subpectoral region following intra-articular tenotomy; whip-stitched; rerouted deep to pectoralis major; and passed within subscapularis window into the gleno-humeral joint, where it is sutured over itself around upper subscapularis tendon. The currently reported technique offers potential advantages of versatility, steep learning curve, low cost (no hardware), feasibility of concurrent gleno-humeral restabilization procedures, and technical easiness of revision management; however; it is nonanatomic and should be biomechanically and clinically investigated to validate its long-term versatile utility.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the outcomes of arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage (ABRR) compared with the arthroscopic Latarjet (AL) procedure for anterior shoulder instability in patients with a labral tear and a concomitant engaging Hill-Sachs lesion.MethodsA retrospective review of patients who underwent either ABRR or the AL procedure for a diagnosis of anterior shoulder instability with a concomitant engaging Hill-Sachs lesion between 2011 and 2019 was performed. Recurrent instability, the visual analog scale score, the Subjective Shoulder Value, the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability score, patient satisfaction, willingness to undergo surgery again, and return to work or sport were evaluated.ResultsOur study included 41 patients treated with ABRR and 26 treated with the AL procedure. At final follow-up, there was no difference between patients who underwent ABRR and those who underwent the AL procedure in the reported Western Ontario Shoulder Instability score (21.8% vs 28.2%, P = .33) or any of its components, the visual analog scale score (0.9 vs 1.4, P = .32), the Subjective Shoulder Value (78.4 vs 74.5, P = .6062), the rate of satisfaction (81.6% vs 85.6%, P = .54), or whether patients would undergo surgery again (81.6% vs 96.1%, P = .16). Overall, 5 patients in the ABRR group and 2 patients in the AL group had recurrent instability events (12.2% vs 7.8%, P = .70), with no significant difference in the rate of recurrent dislocation (12.2% vs 3.8%, P = .39).ConclusionsIn patients with anterior shoulder instability and a concomitant Hill-Sachs lesion, both ABRR and the AL procedure were shown to be reliable treatments, with a low rate of recurrent instability and excellent patient-reported outcomes in appropriately selected patients. However, our study could not determine whether there was critical glenoid bone loss in patients undergoing ABRR, and surgeons should still exercise caution in performing ABRR in patients with high-grade glenoid bone loss or in those with failed prior stabilizations.Level of evidenceLevel III, retrospective cohort study.
