Arthroscopic Latarjet Shows Durable Outcomes at 5-Year Follow-up

A prospective cohort study followed 85 patients who underwent arthroscopic Latarjet procedure with double-screw fixation for recurrent anterior shoulder instability, with a median follow-up of 5.2 years. The study reported only 2 recurrent dislocations and 8 subluxations, significant WOSI score improvement that remained stable from 1 to 5 years, and 5-year quality-of-life scores comparable to general population norms; 87% of patients reported satisfaction, though 10 underwent reoperation for complications.

Most relevant for: Patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability and glenoid bone loss being considered for or having undergone arthroscopic Latarjet surgery, including revision cases.
