EXPERIENCE OF THE LATARJET PROCEDURE FOR RECURRENT ANTERIOR SHOULDER DISLOCATION TREATMENT
Abstract
We have the experience of open Latarjet procedures which were perfomed to 18 patients since 2011 to 2014 in the orthopaedic department Moscow city hospital № 12, among them 14 male (77,8%) and 4 female (22,2%) with anterior shoulder instability. Mean age of the group was 24,3 years. The mean follow-up was 16±4 months (from 6 to 26 months). Mean range of motion increased after 1 year post-op: flexion 178°±2° (from 170° to 180, increased at 2.4°). There was no post-op recurrent dislocation. The patients felt no subluxation or disturbance in operated shoulder. For functional scores, WOSI pre-op was 49,8, one year post-op decreased to 30,3. DASH-score pre-op was 16,5, post-op - 5,2. The results were defined as excellent in 12 patients, good in 6 patients, we had no bad or moderate results. All patients returned to normal life and sport activity.
