Objectives: Treating anterior shoulder instability with the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure is a complex, operator-dependent technique that requires a learning curve. The objective of the study is to compare a guided technique with cortical button fixation and a non-guided technique with screw fixation. Methods: This is a retrospective study including 72 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for recurrent anterior shoulder instability by the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure, with a mean age of 26 years and minimum clinical follow-up of 6 months. The same surgeon performed all the surgeries. The procedure was performed either with an instrument set and dedicated instrumentation that guides the different surgical steps and fixed by two cortical buttons connected by loops of a continuous thread (Group A) or with a specific instrument set and fixed by two cortical screws (Group B). We compared the difficulty of the different surgical steps, each rated from 1 to 5 (1 being the simplest and 5 the most difficult), the number of procedures required to attain a level of difficulty, the operating time and the intraoperative or postoperative complications. Results: Coracoid preparation had a score of 1.3 in group A versus 2.9 in group B (p<0.001) with a difficulty level of 1 as of 19 procedures. The Subscapularis split had a score of 1.9 in group A versus 3.2 in group B (p<0.001) with a level as of 15 procedures. Horizontal positioning of the bone block scored 1.4 in group A versus 1.8 in group B (p=0.019) with a level as of 15 procedures. The mean operating time was 95 minutes in group A and 123 minutes in group B (p<0.0001). There was one coracoid fracture in group A, one case of sepsis and 2 repeat procedures for screw removal in group B, and 2 reversible neurological complications in each group. Conclusion: The Latarjet procedure performed under arthroscopy remains a difficult procedure. An instrument set and dedicated instrumentation with reciprocating rasp and saw, posterior glenoid drill guide and subscapularis retractors allow faster and more reproducible learning.

Arthroscopic Latarjet Procedure

Background: Anterior shoulder instability with significant glenoid bone loss is a challenging condition. The open Latarjet procedure is the established standard treatment method in this setting, but there is an increasing use of the arthroscopic technique. Purpose: To systematically review the current evidence in the literature to ascertain if the open or arthroscopic Latarjet procedure resulted in improved patient outcomes. Study Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: A literature search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library was performed based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) guidelines. Cohort studies comparing the open and arthroscopic Latarjet procedures for anterior shoulder instability were included. Clinical outcomes were compared, with all statistical analysis performed using Review Manager (version 5.3). A P value of <.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Six clinical trials with 896 patients were included. The open and arthroscopic Latarjet procedures resulted in a similar number of total recurrent instability (2.0% vs 2.4%; P = .75), revision procedures (2.4% vs 5.4%; P = .06), and total complications (13.8% vs 11.9%; P = .50), but the open procedure had a lower rate of persistent apprehension (10.2% vs 35.7%; P < .05). In addition, after the learning curve, the operative time was similar between the 2 procedures. Conclusion: Both the open and arthroscopic Latarjet procedures result in significant improvements in patient function and outcome scores, with low rates of recurrent instability and similar complication rates. While technically challenging, the arthroscopic procedure has been shown to be a safe and viable alternative. However, there is a significant learning curve associated with the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure. The significant learning curve associated with this procedure suggests the arthroscopic procedure may be advisable to perform only in high-volume centers with experienced arthroscopists.

ABSTRACT Objective: The cause of anterior shoulder instability is not fully understood and surgical management remains controversial. The objective of this study was to evaluate the results of patients undergoing arthroscopic Latarjet procedure with endobuttons. Methods: A retrospective study of 26 patients undergoing arthroscopic Latarjet procedure with endobuttons to treat anterior shoulder instability. Patients with previous glenohumeral instability, failure of Bankart procedure or Instability Severity Index Score (ISIS) greater than or equal to 6, were included. Patients were assessed by: DASH, UCLA, Rowe, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of pain and Short-Form 36 (SF36) scores. Correct position and consolidation of the graft were evaluated. Results: Mean age was 31.5 years (16 to 46). Preoperative duration of symptoms was 1.7 years (1 month to 10 years). Mean follow-up was 14.3 (6 to 24) months. Mean postoperative scores were: 10 points in DASH; 1.6 in VAS, where 23 (88%) patients experienced mild pain and 3 (12%) moderate pain; 89 in Rowe; 32 in UCLA and 78 in SF-36. Positioning of the graft was correct in 25 (96%) cases, and was consolidated in 23 (88%). We had two cases of graft fracture (7%) and postoperative migration (7%). Conclusion: Surgical treatment using arthroscopic Latarjet with endobuttons is safe and effective, producing good functional outcomes in patients. Level of Evidence IV, Case Series.

Abstract Aim To analyse the evolution of robot-assisted colorectal surgery (RACS). Methods All the patients who underwent RACS between June 2018 and December 2020 were selected. Study period was divided into 3 intervals along the learning curve; group A represents the 1st 10 months, group B 2nd 10 and group C last 11. Results Over the 31-month study period, 70 RACS were performed. Male to female ratio was 4:3, with mean age of 66 years and BMI 28.7. ASA score was reported as 1-2 in 65% patients and 35% as 3. Indication was malignancy for 89% patients and the remainder benign pathology. High or low anterior resection performed were 72%, right hemicolectomies 21%, Hartmann’s 3%, abdominoperineal resections 3%, and left hemicolectomy 1%. RACS performed in group A was 20 compared to 19 in B and 31 C. Type of RACS performed, BMI, ASA, complications, anastomotic leaks, R0 resections and harvested lymph nodes were unrelated to selected time-intervals along learning curve. Mean total duration of procedure dropped down to 247 minutes in group C from 375 in group A (p = &lt;0.001). No significant difference in mean length of stay and readmission rate was observed in 3 groups (p = 0.7, p = 0.59). Conclusion The study demonstrates that introduction of this new surgical technique is safe even in the early phase of adoption with no significant difference in pre-and post-operative morbidities. Significant difference in time taken for surgery was observed with reduction of 88 minutes in average operating time between the start and end of the study.

Patients With Epilepsy

Background: Unacceptably high rates of redislocation, reoperation, osteoarthritis, and coracoid nonunion have been reported in patients with a seizure disorder after surgery for shoulder instabilitiy. Purpose: To evaluate the objective and subjective functional and radiologic results of the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure for anterior shoulder instability in patients with epilepsy and compare them with the results of patients without epilepsy. Study design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A retrospective and comparative case-control analysis of patients operated for shoulder instability with arthroscopic Latarjet was conducted. Nineteen patients (21 unstable shoulders) with a seizure disorder (epilepsy group) were matched with 21 patients without a history of seizure (control group). Demographics, surgical indications, and imaging data were collected. Clinical outcomes at a minimum 2 years of follow-up (range, 2-9 years) postoperatively included Rowe score, Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI), Constant-Murley Shoulder Outcome (CMSO) score, and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE). The incidence of complications, recurrent instability, redislocation, revision surgery, repeated seizure(s), and presence of osteoarthritis, coracoid nonunion, and osteolysis were also examined. Results: After a mean follow-up of 4.5 years, no significant differences in functional results were found between patients with and without epilepsy on the average Rowe ( P = .917), WOSI ( P = .621), CMSO ( P = .600), and SANE ( P = .859) scores. A total of 5 patients (7 shoulders) continued to have seizures postoperatively, but no seizure-related glenohumeral instability was documented. One dislocation and 1 subluxation were documented while participating in sports in each study group, comprising a recurrence rate of 9.5%, but no significant differences were found at comparison ( P = .605). A bone defect did not influence the results, as no significant difference was found between the 2 groups. Osteoarthritic changes of the glenohumeral joint were observed in 5 shoulders (23.8%) in the epilepsy group and in 3 (14.3%) in the control group ( P = .451). No case of coracoid nonunion or osteolysis was recorded. There was no statistically significant difference in postoperative athletic activity ( P = .660). However, patients with epilepsy had significantly lower pre- and postoperative sports participation ( P < .001). Conclusion: Arthroscopic Latarjet stabilization can lead to improved functional and subjective outcomes and should be considered in patients with epilepsy with recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability. These results can be achieved regardless of the presence of bone defect and the postoperative control of seizures and are similar to those in patients without epilepsy.
