Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed patient-specific 3D finite-element models to analyze stress distribution in the congruent-arc Latarjet (CAL) and traditional Latarjet (TL) surgical techniques in shoulder procedures, particularly focusing on different arm positions and glenoid defects.
- The study involved 10 adult patients and simulated various bone defect scenarios (25% and 35%) in the anterior glenoid rim to compare stress patterns in the coracoid grafts between the two techniques.
- Results indicated that while TL produced greater overall stress on the graft, CAL showed a risk of insufficient bone stimulation at the graft interface, potentially increasing the chances of graft failure or osteolysis.
