Abstract

The best operative procedure to address anterior recurrent instability in both the index and revision setting remains a subject of orthopaedic surgical debate. Though many published reports propose treatment algorithms to aid the surgeon in operative technique selection; ultimately, institutional precedent and surgeon experience often dictate the procedure performed. This report briefly describes the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure (ALP), presents indications for the procedure—including the trends of the senior author in utilizing the ALP technique in his high volume, shoulder only practice—and summarizes the state of the current shoulder instability literature, as well as future trends.
