Extra-articular Soft Arthroscopic Latarjet Technique: More Versatility and Closer Reproducibility of Classic Latarjet Procedure than Its Intra-articular Counterpart.

ABSTRACT: The recent innovative concept of dynamic anterior stabilization of the shoulder by long head of biceps tendon for anterior gleno-humeral instability management has gained growing popularity among shoulder surgeons. Different techniques using this concept have been reported. Nevertheless, these techniques share common steps of tenotomy, re-routing, trans-subscapularis transfer and bony glenoid fixation of long head of biceps. Lately, a simplified procedure of intra-articular soft arthroscopic Latarjet technique has been introduced to refer to soft tissue tenodesis of long head of biceps to subscapularis tendon by 2 simple stitches of nonabsorbable sutures following Bankart repair. For more technical simplicity and closer reproducibility of gleno-humeral restabilization mechanisms of Latarje
