Bristow-Latarjet repair for recurrent anterior shoulder instability; an eight-year study

E J Carol et al. Neth J Surg. 1985 Aug.

Abstract

A follow-up study was made of 44 patients who underwent 47 should operations as described by Bristow and Latarjet. The group consisted of 32 recurrent shoulder dislocations and 15 so-called spontaneous shoulder instabilities. The average follow-up was 3.7 years. No significant complications occurred either per- or postoperatively and relapse of luxation was not seen. Only one patient had objectively confirmed shoulder instability after the operation. The average limitation of external rotation at 90 degrees abduction was 12 degrees.
