title: [Latarjet's surgery in recurrent anterior dislocations of the shoulder. 117 cases with an 8-year follow-up].
abstract: One hundred and seventeen shoulders in 113 patients were treated surgically for recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder by the Latarjet procedure - transplantation of the coracoid process to the anterior border of the glenoid fossa. 67 p. 100 of the patients engaged in sport and 33 p. 100 did not. The usual lesions found at operation were separation of the capsule from the anterior rim of the glenoid in 59 p. 100, a lesion of the glenoid labrum in 65 p. 100 and damage to the glenoid fossa short of a fracture in 18 p. 100. Postoperative complications were rare and usually mild, except in two cases of osteoporosis of the coracoid transplant and two fractures of the bone block. There was slight limitation of lateral rotation in 48 p. 100, of abduction in 14 p. 100 and of medial rotation in 4 p. 100. The results at follow-up were rated as excellent in 68 p. 100 (72 cases), good in 21.7 p. 100 (23 cases), with slight pain and limitation of lateral rotation of less than 20 p. 100 and fair in 6.6 p. 100 (7 cases). In these cases, the Latarjet procedure had been performed for postoperative recurrence after a previous surgical procedure. There were 4 poor results.
