The Bristow-Latarjet method in the treatment of shoulder instability that cannot be resolved by arthroscopy. A review of the literature and technical-surgical aspects.
Arthroscopy has surpassed traditional types of open surgery in the treatment of shoulder instability because of its mini-invasiveness and shorter rehabilitation time. Despite this, in some cases, such as those involving significant glenoid erosions and extensive capsular lesions, arthroscopic methods fail the objectives, and methods that were believed to have been surpassed are again used, such as the Bristow-Laterjet procedure. It is the purpose of this article to describe use of the method in light of the possibilities offered by arthroscopy.
