Abstract

Anterior glenohumeral instability with glenoid deficiency can be a challenging problem, and multiple procedures have been developed to address this bone loss. The Latarjet remains one of the more popular procedures with several authors reporting satisfactory long-term results. With recent advances in arthroscopy, the Latarjet has evolved from a classically described open technique to an all-arthroscopic one. This chapter describes a version consisting of mini-open and arthroscopic portions. The surgery can be done solely in the lateral decubitus position, which affords better access to the inferior capsule and eliminates beach chair conversion to execute the open segment. Stability is further enhanced with a standard arthroscopic Bankart repair at the conclusion of the case. This combined technique utilizes advantages of both open and arthroscopic surgery while minimizing trauma to the anterior capsule and subscapularis. It has shown excellent short-term follow-up results with minimal complications and high patient satisfaction scores.
