Arthroscopic Latarjet Procedure Combined With Bankart Repair: A Technique Using 2 Cortical Buttons and Specific Glenoid and Coracoid Guides.

ABSTRACT: The arthroscopic Latarjet procedure is challenging because it can be difficult to place 2 screws parallel to the glenoid surface and a medial portal (dangerous for the brachial plexus) is mandatory. In addition, precise positioning of the coracoid bone block flush with the joint line and in a subequatorial position as recommended is troublesome without the use of a guiding system because of the arthroscopic lens distortion. To improve the reproducibility of the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure and to minimize the risk of nerve complications, we developed a guiding system to optimize the positioning of the coracoid bone block and 2 cortical buttons to facilitate its fixation. Four portals are used: a posterior standard portal and 3 anterior portals, all lateral to the conjoint tendon. The anterior rim of the glenoid and the coracoid process are prepared. Two holes are drilled in the glenoid and in the coracoid process with 2 specific guides. The subscapularis is then split, and 2 cortical buttons are passed from posterior to anterior through the tunnels with a shuttle relay. The coracoid process undergoes osteotomy and is guided through the split in the subscapularis to the anteroinferior rim of the glenoid by pulling on the cortical buttons.

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.

Project description:BackgroundThe Latarjet procedure restores shoulder stability through reconstruction of the glenoid arc. Prior investigations of glenoid and coracoid dimensions have been underpowered to detect differences based on sex and race.Questions/purposesWe sought to establish normative values for glenoid width and coracoid dimensions based on sex, race, and age. In addition, we assessed the restoration of glenoid dimensions using the classic and modified Latarjet techniques (classic technique: placing lateral surface of the coracoid to the glenoid; modified technique: placing inferior surface of the coracoid to the glenoid).MethodsA total of 993 cadaveric specimens (n?=?1986 scapulae) from people over 18 years of age at the time of death were analyzed. Measurements of maximal glenoid width, coracoid width, thickness, and length were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed to detect differences based on sex and race, while univariable linear regression was used to determine the association of increasing age on measured dimensions.ResultsAll dimensions of specimens were significantly larger in males than in females. Caucasians possessed larger mean glenoid width, coracoid width, and coracoid length, while coracoid thickness was significantly larger in African Americans. Linear regression analysis found that increasing age was associated with increased glenoid width and coracoid dimensions. Coracoid positioning restored glenoid width in defects measuring 20% of glenoid width using both classic and modified Latarjet techniques, while defects measuring up to 25% were more accurately reproduced using the modified technique.ConclusionDimensions were significantly larger in males and in Caucasians, aside from coracoid thickness. Mean dimensions increased with advancing age. Coracoid positioning using classic or modified Latarjet techniques restored glenoid width defects measuring 20% of the glenoid width, while the modified technique allowed for restoration of larger defects.
