Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Shurharan presents research on the return to play following the Latter-day Procedure in young contact athletes. The study aimed to evaluate outcomes and return to play in athletes who underwent open Latter-day for anterior shoulder instability. The cohort included 67 patients and 72 shoulders, with a mean age of 19 years. Three-fourths of the cohort underwent Latter-day as the primary stabilization procedure. The study found a low complication rate, with one hardware failure, one hematoma, and one recurrent instability. 75% of the interviewed patients returned to play, mostly in the same sport at the same level. The study highlights the significant improvement in quality of life following the procedure, with few re-operations and complications. However, limitations of the study include its retrospective nature and short follow-up period.
