Editorial Commentary: Sports Ability After Latarjet Procedure Improves in Approximately One-Third of Patients, Shows No Change in One-Third, and Decreases in One-Third

Abstract

Identification of prognostic factors regarding return to sport and return to preinjury level of sport after the open Latarjet procedure is critical to best counsel patients on their expected outcomes. Lower levels of education may be associated with failure to return to sport, whereas the presence of a bony Bankart lesion may be associated with a successful return to preinjury level of sport. Patients who return to sport and return to preinjury level of sport show higher Oxford Shoulder Instability Scores. Additionally, after the Latarjet procedure, sports ability improves in about one-third of patients, remains the same in about one-third of patients, and decreases in about one-third of patients.
