Why is it important?
With the extreme range of movements, the shoulder joint is prone for dislocations. This could be due to traumatic or atraumatic, though the majority are atraumatic. With each subsequent episode of dislocation, humeral head, the glenoid, capsule, labrum and the ligaments undergoes progressive degeneration which further worsens the situation. Selecting an optimal and efficient surgical procedure for patients with anterior glenohumeral instability and associated glenoid bone loss is a complex problem. Among the coracoid transfer procedures, open laterjet procedure offers good clinical outcomes even with engaging Hill sach’s along with glenoid bone loss. The purpose is to study the clinical outcome of Open Laterjet procedure in anterior glenohumeral instability and even with Hill Sach’s lesion.
Perspectives
Open latarjet procedure offers a good surgical method of management of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation with significant bone loss and our study showed good functional outcome as measured by Walch Duplay and VAS scores.
