How Much Glenoid Bone Loss Needs to be Restored with a Latarjet?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the issue of bone loss in shoulder surgeries and the need for proper restoration of the glenoid (shoulder socket) for stability and force distribution. They highlight the lack of clear guidelines on how much bone loss can be overcome using a traditional surgical technique called the Latter-Jay. The speaker presents a study that used cadaveric shoulders to determine the percentage of native glenoid restoration needed for stability. They found that restoring 100% or more of the glenoid width was necessary for optimal results. The video concludes by emphasizing the importance of considering alternative graft sources if full glenoid restoration is not possible.
