Purpose: To evaluate the global function of patients treated by arthroscopic shoulder stabilization with or without remplissage at a minimum of 10 years of follow-up.
Materials: The inclusion criteria were existence of a recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation, with or without a Hill-Sachs lesion. The exclusion criteria were prior shoulder stabilization surgery and patients with a glenoid lesion that had been stabilized using the Latarjet procedure. Included patients with a Hill-Sachs lesion underwent surgical remplissage, and the others had Bankart repair only. The main criterion for failure was recurrence of instability or apprehension. The Rowe score and the Walch-Duplay score were used to assess shoulder function before surgery and 10 years afterward, in clinical reviews or telephone interviews.
Results: Seventy-nine patients underwent surgical Bankart repair with or without remplissage between November 2004 and January 2008 and were followed up for a mean duration of 128 months (range, 120-150); 12 patients were lost to follow-up, and 39 patients had Bankart stabilization only: the mean Instability Severity Index Score was 2.3 (range, 0-6). Three patients had recurrence with new dislocation, and 8 patients had apprehension. The Rowe score progressed from 54.3 (range, 25-65) to 83.8 (range, 70-100; P < .01), and the Walch-Duplay score rose from 46.8 (range, 25-75) to 85.6 (range 70-100; P < .01). Twenty-eight patients had arthroscopic Bankart repair + remplissage; the mean Instability Severity Index Score was 1.8 (range, 1-4). There was no recurrence, and no patient had apprehension. The Rowe score progressed from 51.8 (range, 20-65) to 92.3 (range, 70-100; P < .01), and the Walch-Duplay score rose from 58.7 (range, 30-75) to 91.4 (range, 70-100; P < .01). Functional scores in the second group were statistically significant better than in the first one.
Conclusions: Bankart repair combined with remplissage seems to be an effective method for restoring joint stability in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation with an associated Hill-Sachs lesion at a minimum of 10 years of follow-up. This technique appears to deliver better functional results than Bankart repair only, showing better scores for mobility and stability in the remplissage group. Limitations (pain and restriction of motion) reported in literature at short-term follow-up for this technical procedure do not seem to be anymore an issue at long-term follow-up.
Level Of Evidence: Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed the long-term outcomes of the arthroscopic cortical-button Latarjet procedure for anterior shoulder instability, focusing on clinical and radiological results over a minimum 5-year follow-up period with 40 patients involved.
- Results showed that while there was a low recurrence rate of dislocation (7.5%), most patients successfully returned to sports (94.6%) and reported high satisfaction scores (Rowe and Walch-Duplay scores averaged around 87 and 88, respectively).
- Radiological findings indicated 18.7% of patients developed degenerative arthritis, primarily in mild asymptomatic forms, but overall, the procedure was deemed effective with 72% achieving bone healing and a notable satisfaction level among participants.

Objective: To evaluate the early-term effectiveness of Latarjet procedure with double EndoButtons fixation for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation by coracoid osteotomy with preserving coracoacromial ligament.
Methods: Between January 2021 and June 2023, 19 patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations were treated by arthroscopic Latarjet procedure with double EndoButtons fixation, all of which underwent coracoid osteotomy with preserving the coracoacromial ligament. There were 11 males and 8 females, with an average age of 23.
Splitting the subscapularis at the upper two-third and lower one-third junction or in the middle during the Latarjet-Walch procedure does not affect the external rotation range of motion.

Background: Our purpose was to investigate (1) the difference in external rotation range of motion (ROM) limitation between the two recommended subscapularis-splitting techniques (mid-split vs. upper 2/3 -lower 1/3 split) and (2) the differences in elevation ROM, internal rotation (IR) ROM, the functional outcomes and the IR strength between the two techniques in the Latarjet-Walch procedure.
Material And Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study of patients with recurrent shoulder instability treated by the Latarjet-Walch procedure between January 2021 and January 2022.

Electronic address:
Background: There is a common concern that range of motion (ROM) is negatively affected by the Latarjet procedure. We hypothesize that the Latarjet procedure results in full recovery of ROM postoperatively and significantly improved patient-reported outcome measures.
Methods: Patient data were prospectively collected from a randomized controlled trial to analyze outcomes after open Latarjet procedure.
