Abstract
Background and Aim: Recurrent shoulder dislocations can be treated with a variety of surgical procedures. However, soft-tissue repair appears to be ineffective in all cases of recurrent shoulder dislocation. The present study aimed to determine the Latar jet technique functional outcome for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation. Patients and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 42 recurrent shoulder dislocation patients at the MTI Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar from January 2019 to December 2022. All the eligible patients were operated with open Latar jet procedure. Constant-Murley shoulder score was used for the assessment of functional outcome at 6th months. SPSS version 27 was used for data analysis. Results: Of the total 42 patients, there were 40 (95.2%) male and 2 (4.8%) female. The overall mean age was 46.8±8.4 years. The right and left-side involvement was found in 32 (76.2%) and 12 (23.8%) respectively. The incidence of poor, fair, good, and very good outcomes was 3 (7.1%), 4 (9.5%), 12 (28.6%), and 23 (54.8%) respectively. There was significant improvement in shoulder motion and reduction in pain after 6th month's follow-up.
