Abstract
Introduction: Surgical stabilization of the glenohumeral joint is indicated when recurrent dislocation causes discomfort or when pathology is involved. Latarjet procedure although it is a non anatomical repair, it provides desirable functional result with respect to subjective postoperative range of motion, stability, and subjective scorings.
Aim of the Work: To analyze the functional and radiolog-ical outcome of the Latarjet procedure in patients with recurrent anterior glenohumeral dislocation.
Patients and Methods: The study was performed on 20 patients having recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation.
Results: All the patients were followed-up for 16 to 20 (mean, 18) months. Functional assessment using rowe scoring system was used to assess every patient postoperative at 12 months postoperatively.
Conclusion: Laterjet procedure is good option in patients who wish to practice a competitive sport and are poor candi-dates for arthroscopic Bankart repair due to bony defects.
