AANA/ISAKOS Knee and Shoulder Arthroscopy Course-Online Didactics (April 2024)-Anatomic Latarjet

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Guillermo Arce presents a surgical technique for a right shoulder coracoid process operation. The procedure involves an incision from the coracoid process to the axillary fold, releasing surrounding ligaments, and precise graft preparation with microsaw and clamp. Two parallel screws secure the graft, positioned based on gender-specific measurements to ensure proper fit. The technique includes careful subscapularis dissection and vertical arthrotomy for capsule preservation and anatomical closure with anchors, maintaining shoulder mobility. He emphasizes practicing this method in cadaveric labs to understand graft placement, tendon handling, and nerve locations, aiming for effective results with a straightforward open dissection.
