Arthroscopic Latarjet Stabilization of the Shoulder with Capsulolabral Repair

Abstract

The arthroscopic Latarjet procedure is an evolving treatment for anterior shoulder instability in patients with significant glenoid bone loss, or failed soft-tissue repair. The original description of the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure includes resection of the anterior capsule to simplify passage of the transferred coracoid through the subscapularis split. We describe a technical modification of the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure that includes repair of the anterior capsule at the conclusion of the operation.
