| Video Discription | In this video, Dr. Anthony A. Romeo performs a latarjet technique on a patient who experiences chronic shoulder instability (dislocations/subluxations). **We apologize that there is no audio for this video.** The Latarjet surgical technique was first published in 1954 by French surgeon Dr. Michael Latarjet. It is now widely accepted around the world as the most effective technique for treating anterior (frontward) instability of the shoulder coupled with loss of bone in the shoulder socket (glenoid). Latarjet surgery is often used for high-performance athletes who participate in sports with frequent collisions, such as rugby. It is also an option for people who did not have a successful outcome with an earlier shoulder surgery; it is also a form of shoulder revision surgery. The Latarjet procedure involves taking a small piece of bone from the coracoid in a process called bone grafting. The coracoid is the small hook-shaped bone that comes forward off the front of the scapula (shoulder blade). The grafted piece of the coracoid is moved to the front edge of the shoulder socket to replace its missing bone. The grafted bone is fixed with two screws and sometimes a tiny metal plate so that it heals firmly to the front of the socket. It will act as a sort of bumper to stop the ball joint of the shoulder from slipping out of place. Two small tendons are also attached to the graft to reinforce the stability of the shoulder, forming a tendon sling. Finally, the torn soft tissues (labrum and capsule) are repaired with sutures (stitches). All of the bone and the two small transferred tendons remain in the shoulder, just a short distance from their normal position, without compromising the overall shoulder function. This triple effect of replacing the lost bone, adding a tendon sling, and repairing the capsule and labrum is highly effective at stabilizing the shoulder and allows the person to return to all activities with a very low risk of future instability. A number of recent studies show that the Latarjet procedure is highly effective at: --Correcting failed shoulder surgery --Rebuilding supportive structures --Addressing chronic instability --Preventing future shoulder dislocations After a Latarjet surgery, you will be sent home with a sling to wear for at least four weeks. The sling will immobilize your arm and allow your shoulder joint to heal. Swelling is a normal part of the healing process and it will initially restrict your range of motion. At eight to twelve weeks, light weight-lifting exercises can begin. Sport-specific rehab programs can begin after three months. — — — STAY IN TOUCH 💪Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@DrAnthonyRomeo/videos?sub_confirmation=1 💪Stay connected with Dr. Romeo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/romeoorthopaedics/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-romeo-ab713685/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/romeoorthopaedics 💪Visit Dr. Romeo’s website to learn more about his practice and surgery techniques: https://www.anthonyromeomd.com/ — — — ABOUT DR.
