Background: Capsular management is having an increasingly important place during the open Latarjet procedure especially in preventing postoperative glenohumeral arthritis. The open capsular shift-Latarjet procedure consists of the classic Latarjet procedure associated with a glenoid T-based capsular shift to treat patients with high risk of recurrent anterior shoulder instability. Indications: Patients presenting with humeral and/or glenoid bone loss, patients practicing professional activities or sports at risk of recurrence and without any previous capsular surgery, or major capsular deficiency. Technique Description: After a classic deltopectoral approach and the osteotomy of the coracoid process, a horizontal split of the subscapularis is performed. Then a glenoid T-based capsulotomy is performed, and 2 passing wire suture threads are passed through the inferior flap of the capsule to prepare the capsular shift. A first, soft, all-sutured anchor is inserted at the inferior part of the glenoid medially to the articular surface. The coracoid graft is then positioned with a first inferior cancellous screw to be flush with the articular surface and fixed using a second cancellous screw. A second anchor is placed laterally and superiorly to the coracoid at the anterior scapular neck. The capsular shift is performed using a passing wire technique to suture the capsular flap to both anchors and to ensure the extraarticular positioning of the coracoid. Results: Bouju et al found a low rate of recurrence with no revision surgeries and a significative lower incidence of osteoarthritis (8.6%) at 10-year follow-up compared with the current literature when suturing the capsule to the coracoid process. Itoigawa et al concluded that suturing the capsule on the coracoid may increase the risk of osteoarthritis due to a direct contact between the humeral head and the transferred coracoid, thus we suggest attaching the capsule over the glenoid. Discussion/Conclusion: With appropriate patient selection, this technique is safe and reliable to treat patients with anterior instability without any specific risk related to the surgery. The association of the capsular repair is an appropriate solution to better restore the anatomy and to prevent the long-term risk of glenohumeral arthritis.

Abstract Background Best surgical of recurrent anterior shoulder instability remained controversial. We knew little about the superiority and choice between traditional open and modern arthroscopic techniques. We hypothesized that outcomes of all patients will be similar regardless of surgical technique. Methods A retrospective case-cohort analysis of 168 patients who had recurrent anterior shoulder instability was conducted from September 2010 to December 2013. All cases (mean age 30.8 [range 18–50] years) were performed with arthroscopic Bankart repair (33 males/20 females), open Latarjet (34 males/18 females), and capsular shift (31 males/14 females). The average follow-up was 67.6 months (range 60–72). The shoulder instability index score (ISIS) was more than 3 with an average of 6.4. Results All treatments proved to be effective in improving shoulder functional status and reducing symptoms, while Latarjet had an advantage over subjective perception. The Rowe scores in arthroscopic Bankart, open Latarjet, and capsular shift group were 92.3 ± 1.5, 96.2 ± 2.1, and 93.2 ± 2.3, respectively, with significant difference. There was no significant difference in other functional outcomes. However, the Latarjet group in subjective results (subjective shoulder value (SSV) and subjective shoulder value for sport practice (SSV Sport)) was superior to the others (P < 0.05). There were two relapsed cases in arthroscopic Bankart and capsular shift group, respectively, and no recurrence in open Latarjet group. Conclusion Arthroscopic Bankart repair has the advantage of mini-invasion and rapid recovery. Capsular shift offers stabilizing of inferior or multidirectional type, especially for little bone defect. Latarjet was more effective in reducing recurrence with higher stability. Level of evidence Therapeutic level III

Background: This study was aimed to evaluate the final results of surgical treatment (Latarjet procedure) in the recurrent anterior shoulder instability following episodes of tramadol-induced seizure. Methods: From January 2005 to March 2013, 47 patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation after suffering a seizure episode following tramadol use underwent surgical procedure. There were 53 shoulders in 47 male patients (six had bilateral recurrent dislocations). The mean age of the patients at the time of operation was 24.7 years (ranging from 20 to 44 years). The average number of episodes of anterior shoulder dislocation before surgery was 16. Results: External rotation with the elbow at the side improved from 45.8 ± 9.3° (30°-60°) pre-operatively to 61.5 ± 7.8° (45°-90°) postoperatively (P < 0.001). Forward elevation also increased significantly post-operatively (P = 0.002). Mean pre-operative Rowe score was 28.41 ± 4.30 (30-85) which increased to 73.57 ± 8.40 post-operatively. The Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) score decreased from 1352 ± 74 to 618 ± 46 (P < 0.0001). Conclusion: Correcting glenoid bone loss by Latarjet procedure combined, if necessary, with humeral head defect reconstruction could be a proper treatment method in patients experiencing recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation after idiosyncratic seizure reaction of tramadol.

Background: Long-term results of the arthroscopic Bankart repair in patients older than 40 years are unknown and may be favorable in terms of postoperative glenohumeral arthritis as opposed to the long-term results of the open Latarjet procedure in patients older than 40 years. Purpose: To analyze our long-term results of the arthroscopic Bankart repair for recurrent anterior shoulder instability in patients older than 40 years of age and to compare these results with previously published long-term results of the Latarjet procedure in a cohort of similar age. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 35 consecutive patients (36 shoulders) with a mean age of 47 years (range, 40-69) at time of the arthroscopic Bankart repair were studied at a mean 13.2 years (range, 8-18) after surgery. Clinical and radiographic results were then compared with those of our previous study of 39 consecutive patients (40 shoulders) of a same age group who had been treated for the same pathology with an open Latarjet procedure. Results: Six shoulders (17%) sustained a recurrent shoulder dislocation after a mean 5.3 years; subluxation occurred in 3 shoulders (8%); and apprehension persisted in 3 shoulders (8%). Revision surgery was performed in 8 patients (22%): 2 Bankart and 6 open Latarjet. The relative preoperative Constant score and Subjective Shoulder Value were significantly improved ( P < .001) at final follow-up. Arthropathy of stabilization was advanced in the shoulders of 16 patients (47%) and had progressed by at least 2 grades in 21 patients (62%). There were significantly higher rates of redislocation and subluxation when compared with the open Latarjet procedure (9 vs 3; P = .037), and the mean final Subjective Shoulder Value was significantly lower in the Bankart group (86% vs 91%; P = .011). There were no significant differences in final advanced arthropathy (16 vs 14; P = .334) and revision rates (8 vs 7; P = .409) when compared with the Latarjet procedure. Conclusion: Arthroscopic Bankart repair for recurrent anterior shoulder instability in patients older than 40 years was associated with reliable pain relief and patient satisfaction similar to that after the open Latarjet procedure. Restoration of stability was significantly less successful and development of arthropathy no better than the open Latarjet procedure in patients older than 40 years.
