Background: Anterior glenohumeral dislocation is a widespread problem among young athletic populations. Objective: This study was aimed to evaluate the clinical and the radiological results of patients with recurrent traumatic anterior shoulder instability treated with Latarjet procedure. Patients and Methods: A clinical trial study was conducted on 18 patients with recurrent traumatic anterior shoulder instability treated at the Department of Orthopedic, Faculty of Medicine, Zagazig University Hospitals. Pre-and postoperative clinical evaluation and radiological assessment was applied. Results: The average glenoid bone loss was (24.1±2.3 %) ranging from 20 to 27. All cases showed postoperative union and most of them (94.4%) had bony union and only (5.6%) had a fibrous union. Regarding range of motion and the shoulder functional evaluation there was a highly statistically significant improvement in all examined items (p-value<0.001). 123.0 % improvement postoperatively with a highly statistically significant increase in the constant score from (48.1±6.2) to (91.4±3.7) (p-value<0.001). 93.6 % improvement postoperatively with a highly statistically significant increase in the ULCA score from (14.6±2.9) to (31.3±1.8) (p-value<0.001). Most of the studied group (16 cases, 88.8%) didn't have any postoperative complications, one case had a hematoma (5.6%) and one case had a superficial infection (5.6%). Conclusion: It could be concluded that the open Latarjet procedure has confirmed to be an effective and efficient procedure for shoulder stabilization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
