Background: Compared with the Latarjet procedure, the Bristow procedure has a lower screw-related complication rate but poor bone healing. A modified Inlay Bristow procedure has been reported to significantly improve the bone healing rate, but the biomechanical mechanism is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical stability of the bone graft between a modified Inlay Bristow procedure and the classic Bristow procedure.

- The study compared the outcomes of two shoulder procedures: the arthroscopic Latarjet and arthroscopic Bristow, focusing on dislocation recurrence, clinical scores, and recovery.
- Both procedures showed good results with no dislocations, but the Latarjet had a higher graft healing rate, while the Bristow was quicker to perform and had a lower incidence of early osteoarthritis.
- Results favored the Latarjet for range of motion and return to sports rates, indicating different benefits between the two techniques.
