Distance-to-Dislocation Predicts Recurrent Dislocation and Return-to-Sport Following Latarjet

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the problem of recurrent instability following arthroscopic Bankart procedure. They mention the limitations of the Latarjet procedure and the concept of glenoid track. The aim of the study was to determine if distance to dislocation (DTD) is a predictor of recurrent dislocation and return to sport after open Latarjet reconstruction. The study analyzed 52 patients who underwent primary Latarjet with a minimum of two-year follow-up. They found that lower DTD values or more off-track lesions correlated with higher failure rates and lower rates of return to sport. The speaker suggests that DTD may be a more effective prognostic indicator than glenoid bone loss, influencing decision-making in patient selection for Latarjet.
