Abstract
Purpose Arthroscopic techniques are becoming the gold standard in the treatment of glenohumeral instability with glenoid bone loss. The purpose of this systematic review is to present the clinical and radiological outcomes following arthroscopic Latarjet procedure. Methods A comprehensive literature systematic review was performed to identify studies reporting clinical and radiographic results of arthroscopic Latarjet procedure. Results Nine articles were selected, which described 512 procedures. Study type, complications, radiographic evaluation, preoperative and postoperative functional scores are identified, analyzed and discussed. Satisfactory results are presented by all authors, and significant postoperative satisfaction with a low rate of dislocation, and accurate graft positioning is reported by all the studies. Conclusion Although high-level evidences are lacking, arthroscopic Latarjet appears to be an effective and safe option to treat glenohumeral instability with bone loss and to provide successful clinical results durable with time. This technique allows accurate graft positioning and satisfactory fusion rate without additional complications compared with open surgery.
