Abstract

We performed 54 consecutive Latarjet procedures for the treatment of recurrent anterior instability of the shoulder between 1996 and 2005. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and radiographic results of the procedure. The procedure was performed for the treatment of recurrent anterior dislocation in 51 shoulders, painful recurrent anterior subluxation in two cases and painful shoulder in one case. All patients had a radiographic evaluation before the operation and at the latest follow-up examination. At the time of the latest follow-up, none of the patients had recurrent dislocation. According to the system of Rowe, 51 (94 %) of the 54 shoulders had an excellent or good result. Fifty-one shoulders had no glenohumeral osteoarthrosis.
