Unicortical fixation does not compromise bony union in the Latarjet procedure.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fixation of the coracoid during the Latarjet procedure can be performed with either unicortical or bicortical fixation. There is no clear evidence that the number of cortices fixed affects graft union, but in vitro studies suggest bicortical fixation is desirable. The primary aim of the study was to retrospectively review the coracoid union rates in our Latarjet cohort who have undergone either unicortical or bicortical graft fixation.

Methods

A retrospective review of Latarjet patients receiving bicortical or unicortical fixation was performed. The rate of coracoid graft union was assessed via radiographs and computed tomography scans at minimum 8 weeks postoperatively. Primary analysis for graft union was performed with Chi-squared and Fisher's exact tests.

Results

A total of 184 patients were enrolled (82 bicortical, 102 unicortical) with 20 patients lost to follow-up. There was no significant difference between union rates of bicortical and unicortical groups (union rate: 94% bicortical, 98% unicortical, P = .25). There were no significant differences in rate of instability recurrence (P = .5) or other postoperative complications (P = .83) between the groups.

Discussion

At a minimum follow-up of 8 weeks, bicortical fixation was not shown to have a higher rate of union than unicortical fixation. Performing unicortical fixation is an acceptable practice without compromising bony graft union.

Arthroscopic Latarjet Procedure Utilizing a Latarjet With Cortical Button Fixation Performed in the Lateral Position.

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.

Modified Arthroscopic Latarjet Procedure: Button Fixation Without Splitting of the Subscapularis.

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.

Latarjet Cerclage: The Metal-Free Fixation.

Project description:The Latarjet technique is a widely used technique for anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone defects, irreparable capsuloligamentous lesion, or in patients at greater risk of recurrence. The use of this technique has been reported to obtain satisfactory clinical and biomechanical results. Although other methods exist, the coracoid process is typically fixed with 2 metal screws. Complications related to metal fixation are very frequently reported. In an attempt to avoid these complications, we developed this arthroscopically assisted metal-free Latarjet technique in which we fix a coracoid graft using four cerclage tapes to achieve a strong, stable fixation, thus mimicking a plate.

Arthroscopic "Double-Inlay" Eden-Hybinette Procedure with Modified Suture Button Fixation for the Revision of Failed Bristow-Latarjet.

Project description:Bristow-Latarjet procedure has been widely regarded as a reliable and satisfactory operation for recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability, especially for patients with significant glenoid bone loss or high sports demand. Once failed, however, the subsequent revision surgery could be challenging. Eden-Hybinette procedure is the most common operation for revision of failed Bristow-Latarjet. It can perfectly restore the bone defect of the failed Bristow-Latarjet by harvesting a proper size of iliac bone block. Furthermore, several studies have shown the advantages of using suture button fixation in the revision surgery for failed Bristow-Latarjet procedure. However, the potential inferior biomechanical strength of suture button fixation is still a concern. This Technical Note introduced an arthroscopic "double-inlay" Eden-Hybinette procedure with modified suture button fixation for the revision of failed Bristow-Latarjet. With its "quadruple" reinforcement effect, this procedure can achieve an excellent biomechanical strength of fixation.

Pectoralis Major Repair With Unicortical Button Fixation And Suture Tape.

Project description:Although injuries of the pectoralis major muscle are generally uncommon, ruptures of the pectoralis major are occasionally seen in younger, more active patients who participate in weightlifting activities. These injuries usually occur during maximal contraction of the muscle, while in extension and external rotation. In the case of a rupture, operative treatment is advocated especially in young, active patients regardless of the chronicity of the injury. Various surgical techniques for reattachment of the avulsed tendon have been described, but bone tunnel and suture anchor repair techniques are most widely used. In this Technical Note, we present our preferred technique for acute pectoralis major rupture repair involving use of cortical buttons for tendon stump-to-bone fixation.

Arthroscopic Screw Removal After Arthroscopic Latarjet Procedure.

Project description: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. This procedure is indicated in more cases than thought because of the bone block resorption. It permits a revision of the glenohumeral joint in case of persisting pain.

Capsulolabral Reconstruction During the Open Latarjet Procedure.

Project description:Surgical treatment of anterior glenohumeral joint instability can be challenging and carries the inherent risk of recurrent instability, dislocation arthropathy, and postoperative loss of external rotation. In the current manuscript, a technique for combined reconstruction of anterior labrum and capsule, with concomitant reduction of the humeral head during anterior capsule reconstruction in open Latarjet procedure, is presented. Analogous to other techniques, the coracoid graft is fixed on the anteroinferior part of the glenoid between 3 and 5 o'clock. However, for this technique, reattachment of the labrum is performed between the native glenoid and the bone graft. Additionally, during the reconstruction of the anterior capsule on the coracoacromial ligament, while the operated arm is held in external rotation to avoid the postoperative rotational deficit, the humeral head is reduced posteriorly in the center of the glenoid during adduction, slight anterior forward flexion, and a posterior lever push. By doing so, the inherent theoretical risks of persistent instability and dislocation arthropathy are believed to be decreased. Further studies are needed to clarify the long-term consequences of this surgical technique in the clinical setting.

Arthroscopy-Assisted Latarjet Procedure With Coracoid Exteriorization.

Project description: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 arthroscopic control, and the coracoid is exposed through the anteroinferior portal. Once the coracoid is openly shaped and the drill-holes are made, the coracoid is resituated and fixed to the glenoid edge in arthroscopic visual control. The purpose of this technique is to combine favorable elements of the open and arthroscopic procedures. Additionally, the instrumentation is simple, which makes the operation safe and practical to perform.

Latarjet Cerclage: The All-Arthroscopic Metal-Free Fixation.

Project description:The Bristow-Latarjet procedure has been one of the most recognized procedures for the treatment of recurrent shoulder dislocation with anterior glenoid bone loss, revision surgery after failed Bankart repair, contact and collision sport injuries, and patients with a high risk of recurrence. Open and arthroscopic approaches have recently shown similar outcomes by several authors. However, complications related to metal implants, despite being low, are still a matter of concern. We describe an all-arthroscopic Latarjet technique with a metal-free fixation method using 2 ultra-high-strength sutures, creating a cerclage construct through 2.4mm glenoid and coracoid tunnels with a final capsulolabral complex reconstruction.

The Combined Arthroscopic Revision Technique After the Latarjet Procedure.

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.
