Video Transcription

Video Summary

The talk discusses arthroscopic Latarjet surgery, highlighting benefits like better visualization, less pain, and accurate graft placement compared to open surgery. Although technically challenging with a learning curve requiring proficiency in shoulder arthroscopy, it avoids extensive neurovascular retraction. Key steps include preparing the coracoid, splitting the subscapularis muscle, and precise graft fixation using cannulated guides. The anterior capsule is excised but not repaired, which may increase apprehension. Successful outcomes rely on experience, proper training, and postoperative CT to confirm graft healing before resuming activities, typically in 3-4 months. The speaker emphasizes safety and technical precision to avoid complications.
