The Subscapularis-Sparing "Flipped Latarjet" Procedure.
Arthroscopy Techniques 2024 April
The Latarjet procedure is a proven and effective operation to treat anterior shoulder instability. Especially in cases with anterior glenoid bone loss, the Latarjet operation is the most popular procedure to restore glenoid anatomy and avoid further dislocations. Next to the re-creation of the missing glenoid bone, the sling effect of the conjoint tendon transferred between a split in the subscapularis muscle is an important "soft tissue stabilizer" of the humeral head. However, it has been shown that the inferior part of the subscapularis muscle tends to degenerate, leading to fatty infiltration of the muscle itself. Also, exposure through the subscapularis split is technically demanding, and there is a risk of nerve damage due to the pulling forces of the retractors during open surgery. When performing the procedure arthroscopically, extremely low and medial portals are necessary to find a correct angle for the glenoid drilling when approaching from anterior. Neurovascular structures may be at risk during these surgical steps. The aim of the flipped Latarjet procedure is to facilitate a safe and reliable arthroscopic operation to anteriorly stabilize the shoulder by transferring the coracoid to the deficient glenoid without splitting the subscapularis muscle while keeping the benefits of a sling effect of the conjoined tendon.
