Complications Related to Latarjet Shoulder Stabilization: A Systematic Review

Pdf Summary
A systematic review was conducted to identify the overall complication rate of the Latarjet procedure for anterior shoulder instability and the rate of complications between arthroscopic and open approaches. A total of 35 articles were included in the analysis, with 2560 Latarjet procedures performed in 2532 patients. The overall complication rate was found to be 16.1%, with intraoperative complications at 3.4%, postoperative complications at 6.5%, and instability-related complications at 6.2%. The most common complications were nonunion, nerve injuries, and iatrogenic fractures. Approximately 2.6% of patients required an unplanned secondary operation. When comparing the arthroscopic and open approaches, the arthroscopic approach had a higher rate of intraoperative complications (5.0% vs 2.9%) but a lower rate of instability-related complications (3.1% vs 7.2%). The study concludes that while the overall complication rate of the Latarjet procedure is high, serious complications are rare at short-term follow-up. The arthroscopic approach is associated with higher intraoperative complications but lower instability-related complications compared to the open approach. Additional studies are recommended to further investigate appropriate surgical candidates for the Latarjet procedure.
