ARTHROSCOPIC LATARJET SURGERY
BONE CARE CLINIC | DR. VINAY KUMARASWAMY | BANGALORE INDIA
Arthroscopic Latarjet surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to stabilize the shoulder joint for patients with recurrent shoulder dislocation or instability. This procedure is named after the French surgeon Michel Latarjet who first described it in the 1950s. In this procedure, a piece of bone with attached muscle and ligaments is taken from the patient's coracoid process (a bony projection from the scapula) and is attached to the front of the glenoid (the shallow socket of the shoulder joint) using screws or sutures.
​
The arthroscopic Latarjet surgery offers several advantages over the traditional open Latarjet procedure. This procedure is performed through small incisions and allows the surgeon to visualize the inside of the joint using a tiny camera (arthroscope). The arthroscope helps the surgeon to accurately place the coracoid bone graft, minimize soft tissue dissection, and avoid damage to the surrounding structures. Patients who undergo arthroscopic Latarjet surgery typically experience less pain, have a shorter recovery time, and fewer complications compared to open surgery.
The arthroscopic Latarjet surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes two or three small incisions around the shoulder joint to insert the arthroscope and surgical instruments. The surgeon then prepares the coracoid bone graft and secures it to the glenoid using screws or sutures. The attached muscle and ligaments from the coracoid graft help to stabilize the shoulder joint and prevent dislocation or instability.

After the surgery, the patient will need to wear a sling for a few weeks to allow the graft to heal. Physical therapy is an essential part of the recovery process, and the patient will need to follow a rehabilitation program to restore shoulder strength and range of motion gradually. The patient may also need to avoid overhead activities and heavy lifting for several months to allow the shoulder to fully heal.
