Summary
Screw removal after arthroscopic Latarjet procedures can alleviate shoulder pain and snapping. This all-arthroscopic technique is effective and applicable in more cases than previously assumed, offering revision for persistent glenohumeral joint pain.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Sports Medicine
- Arthroscopy
Background:
- The arthroscopic Latarjet procedure effectively treats shoulder instability.
- Complications include screw-related pain and snapping during external rotation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present an all-arthroscopic technique for removing Latarjet procedure screws.
- To evaluate the reliability and efficiency of this screw removal method.
Main Methods:
- An all-arthroscopic approach for screw removal following a Latarjet procedure.
- Assessment of the technique's reliability and efficiency in managing screw complications.
Main Results:
- The all-arthroscopic screw removal technique is reliable and efficient.
- Indications for screw removal are broader than initially thought, especially with bone block resorption.
Conclusions:
- All-arthroscopic screw removal is a viable solution for Latarjet procedure complications.
- This technique allows for glenohumeral joint revision in cases of persistent pain.
