Arthroscopic Latarjet Procedure: A Technique Using Double Round ENDOBUTTONs and Specific Glenoid and Coracoid Guides.

ABSTRACT: The Latarjet procedure is a method used for the treatment of shoulder instability in the presence of bone loss. A decade after the first description of the fully arthroscopic Latarjet procedure, modifications to the technique were reported to decrease the risk of complications and improve the position of the bone block. A recent trend toward the use of buttons to fix the coracoid has been reported. The technique described here is an arthroscopic Latarjet procedure that uses 2 pairs of round buttons as an alternative to screw fixation or the use of a single button, and the technique aims to combine the original procedure with safe and stable fixation.

Project description:BackgroundThe Latarjet procedure restores shoulder stability through reconstruction of the glenoid arc. Prior investigations of glenoid and coracoid dimensions have been underpowered to detect differences based on sex and race.Questions/purposesWe sought to establish normative values for glenoid width and coracoid dimensions based on sex, race, and age. In addition, we assessed the restoration of glenoid dimensions using the classic and modified Latarjet techniques (classic technique: placing lateral surface of the coracoid to the glenoid; modified technique: placing inferior surface of the coracoid to the glenoid).MethodsA total of 993 cadaveric specimens (n = 1986 scapulae) from people over 18 years of age at the time of death were analyzed. Measurements of maximal glenoid width, coracoid width, thickness, and length were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed to detect differences based on sex and race, while univariable linear regression was used to determine the association of increasing age on measured dimensions.ResultsAll dimensions of specimens were significantly larger in males than in females. Caucasians possessed larger mean glenoid width, coracoid width, and coracoid length, while coracoid thickness was significantly larger in African Americans. Linear regression analysis found that increasing age was associated with increased glenoid width and coracoid dimensions. Coracoid positioning restored glenoid width in defects measuring 20% of glenoid width using both classic and modified Latarjet techniques, while defects measuring up to 25% were more accurately reproduced using the modified technique.ConclusionDimensions were significantly larger in males and in Caucasians, aside from coracoid thickness. Mean dimensions increased with advancing age. Coracoid positioning using classic or modified Latarjet techniques restored glenoid width defects measuring 20% of the glenoid width, while the modified technique allowed for restoration of larger defects.
