[Development and research progress of suture button fixation Latarjet procedure]

Area of Science:

• Orthopedic surgery
• Sports medicine
• Shoulder reconstruction

Background:

• The Latarjet procedure, introduced in 1954, has evolved significantly.
• Suture button fixation has emerged as a key advancement for treating recurrent shoulder dislocation.
• Despite its efficacy, challenges like graft impingement and disruption of surrounding structures persist.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review the development and research progress of the suture button fixation Latarjet procedure.
• To summarize modified techniques aimed at improving outcomes and reducing complications.
• To assess the current state of research on glenoid reconstruction methods.

Main Methods:

• Comprehensive literature review.
• Analysis of historical development and modifications of the Latarjet procedure.
• Evaluation of various suture button fixation techniques and glenoid reconstruction methods.

Main Results:

• Suture button fixation Latarjet procedure demonstrates satisfactory outcomes for recurrent shoulder dislocation.
• Modified techniques, including arthroscopic approaches and ligament reconstruction, show good clinical results.
• Various glenoid reconstruction techniques also exhibit favorable efficacy, though long-term data is limited.

Conclusions:

• Suture button fixation Latarjet procedure is an effective treatment for recurrent shoulder dislocation.
• Multiple techniques exist, but a definitive gold standard is yet to be established.
• Further clinical and basic research is essential to optimize treatment strategies and long-term outcomes.
