title: The Arthroscopic Latarjet A Bony Solution for a Bony Injury.
abstract: Treatment of shoulder instability has greatly evolved over the past century. Open capsulolabral repairs and bony augmentation procedures have slowly been replaced with arthroscopy. As arthroscopy and arthroscopic instruments have improved, surgeons have gravitated toward more minimally invasive procedures. The open Latarjet procedure has been historically very successful in preventing recurrent shoulder dislocation. While there is a steep learning curve, the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure as developed by Lafosse in 2007 can be effective in preventing shoulder instability in patients with significant bone loss of up to 30%.
