Abstract :
Anterior glenohumeral instability is a frequent cause of professional
soccer players’ removal, reduced performance, and prolonged
recovery. Players are subjected to intense physical contact and
high performance, thus demanding lower rates of recurrence after
surgical correction so they can return to sport quickly. Objective:
To assess professional soccer players treated by the Lartajet tech-
nique considering the rate and time of return to sports activities,
complications or failures. Methods: Analysis held between 2010
and 2018 of professional soccer players diagnosed with anterior
shoulder instability operated by the open procedure of Lartajet in
our service. Results: The mean return to professional sports was
93.5 days. The mean time of surgery in relation to the first disloca-
tion was 12.4 months. Each athlete had 4.3 shoulder dislocations
until the procedure was performed. The rate of recurrence was
zero and subluxation was not observed. Conclusion: The Latarjet
procedure allowed all professional athletes to return to competitive
activities quickly, without dislocations and subluxation, negative
seizure and without complications during follow-up. Level of
evidence IV, Case series.
