Open Latarjet Procedure for Recurrent Anterior Shoulder Instability with Glenoid Bone Loss: Technical Considerations

Shoulder instability is a common pathology treated in acute and chronic settings, often in young, active patients. Surgical options vary depending on patient factors, injury severity, degree of bone loss, and surgeon preference. In cases of significant bone loss, bony augmentation procedures are recommended to minimize the risk of recurrent instability. This Technical Note describes the authors' preferred surgical technique for the open Latarjet procedure for treatment of shoulder instability.
