2021 AOSSM-AANA Combined Annual Meeting Recordings-I Cracked My Latarjet Graft

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses intraoperative complications related to coracoid transfer, specifically the risk of a fractured graft. They explain the different types of coracoid transfers, including the Traditional Latter-Jay, the Congruent-Arc, and the Bristow. The Traditional Latter-Jay provides a larger surface area for bone-to-bone healing, while the Congruent-Arc allows for greater restoration of the glenoid defect. The speaker emphasizes the importance of adequate exposure and proper graft preparation and fixation techniques to minimize the risk of graft fracture. They also mention possible bailouts, such as using suture anchor fixation or alternative graft options like a distal clavicle autograft or allograft.
