EuroVision: Pearls on the Open Latarjet Procedure

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Alex Biederman presents the Latarjet procedure as the gold standard for shoulder stability surgery, citing its 77-year success and superiority over anatomical repairs. The procedure involves a precise surgical technique including incision, dissection, osteotomy of the coracoid process, and graft fixation with screws. The labrum and capsule are reattached to enhance stability, with postoperative care allowing early mobilization and quick recovery. Complications are rare, under 5%. Dr. Biederman emphasizes the procedure’s efficiency, typically lasting 30 minutes, and minimal cosmetic impact, advocating it as a reliable solution for anterior shoulder instability, especially in contact sport patients.
