Arthroscopy-Assisted Latarjet Procedure With Coracoid Exteriorization.

ABSTRACT: The Latarjet procedure is a method for treating complicated glenohumeral joint dislocation that is often associated with a bone defect in the anterior glenoid. The Latarjet procedure addresses both soft-tissue and bone deficiencies by creating a biceps tendon sling and through bone reconstruction of the anterior glenoid defect. The arthroscopic Latarjet procedure provides good visual control in the structures and eliminates the need for an arthrotomy. We present an arthroscopy-assisted Latarjet technique where the coracoid is temporarily exteriorized to facilitate shaping and preparation for subsequent fixation to the glenoid. Coracoid debridement, anterior glenoid preparation, and the subscapular split are conducted arthroscopically. Cutting the coracoid process is also conducted under ar
