WASHINGTON — Results presented here showed that distance-to-dislocation may be a stronger prognostic indicator of recurrent instability than glenoid bone loss following Latarjet.
Albert Lin, MD and colleagues performed a retrospective study to identify 75 consecutive patients who had undergone primary open Latarjet to determine if distance to dislocation is a predictor for recurrent dislocations and return to sports following open Latarjet. After excluding patients with connective tissue disorders, seizure disorders, or inadequate follow-up, 52 patients were included in the final cohort.
