Advanced surgical technique for arthroscopic Latarget surgery with posterior drilling of the articular process of the scapula

The Latarjet procedure is a well-known, safe and reliable technique to treat primary or recurrent anterior dislocations or subluxations. Both the open and the arthroscopic methods produce excellent clinical results, with a low rate of recurrent instability. Surgical complication associated an overall complication rate in the open Latarjet procedure of 15%. Meticulous surgical technique and a good understanding of the local anatomy can help to avoid the complications but postoperative shoulder arthritis and frequent bone block osteolysis remain unsolved additional challenges, which require further research. The purpose of this article is to provide advanced arthroscopic surgery techniques.
