Clinical and radiological outcome following arthroscopic Latarjet with cerclage FiberTape fixation with a minimum 1-year follow-up.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The rates of implant-related complications are significant following the Latarjet procedure using metal screws in patients with recurrent shoulder dislocation and bone loss. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the short-term outcome following the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure using cerclage FiberTape (Arthrex, Naples, FL, USA) combined with remplissage and capsulolabral repair. It was hypothesized that performing the procedure with cerclage FiberTape would provide sturdy fixation, comparable to the conventional method of using metal screws, while averting hardware-related complications attributed to the latter in published literature.

Methods

A prospective study was performed in a single institution between 2020 and 2022, with all surgeries performed by a s
