Article Abstract
The Latarjet procedure is a widely used and effective approach for treating anterior shoulder instability. However, hardware-related complications are a potential risk of the procedure for issues such as screw prominence, breakage, pain, or neurologic injury. To address these challenges, fixation with suture buttons, cerclage, or anchors has been proposed to reduce screw-related complications or revision procedures. Although these methods have shown promising results, they often require access to the posterior glenoid via an arthroscopic approach, which can be technically demanding. Biomechanical studies support the efficacy of all-suture anchors in achieving reliable fixation without compromising stability. This article presents an alternative fixation for the open Latarjet technique using all-suture anchors and suture buttons, eliminating the need for screws and additional posterior access.

Recurrent anterior instability with glenoid bone loss is a difficult problem with several surgical options. The Latarjet technique remains the gold standard for glenoid bone reconstruction in the setting of critical glenoid bone loss with excellent long-term outcomes. However, this technique has well known downsides including high rates of complications.

Purpose: To 1) describe the current state of RTSP and recurrence rates for competitive athletes undergoing the most frequently performed anterior shoulder stabilization procedures and the factors potentially associated with these outcomes and to 2) describe RTS clearance timeframes and how RTS clearance decisions were made in the included studies.
Study Design: Scoping review.
Background & Purpose: The Latarjet procedure is a well-established method for surgical stabilization in the case of recurrent anterior shoulder instability. The purpose of this case report was to describe the post-operative physical therapy progression and outcome of a Division I women's basketball player following an open Latarjet procedure. # Case Description The subject was a 23-year-old female Division I collegiate basketball player who had experienced multiple shoulder dislocations during basketball-related activities.

Introduction: This study was designed to compare the outcomes of Bankart, Latarjet, and Remplissage surgical procedures in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability.
Methods: The study included 26 patients who underwent surgery for recurrent anterior shoulder instability. Pain levels, proprioceptive sensation, functional status, range of motion (ROM), grip strength, and muscle activation were assessed.

Purpose: The Latarjet procedure is thought to reduce recurrence by creating a dynamic restraint against instability, known as the "sling effect". Conversely, free bone block (FBB) techniques provide stability through bony augmentation alone, without relying on the sling effect. This study compares the clinical outcomes of the Latarjet procedure and FBB techniques in adult patients to determine whether the sling effect offers a significant advantage in reducing recurrence rates.
