Arthroscopic Latarjet Procedure in Bengaluru at VijaySheela Sports-Orthopedics Clinic

At VijaySheela Sports-Orthopedics Clinic, Bengaluru, Dr. Vijay Girish performs the Arthroscopic Latarjet Procedure, a minimally invasive technique to treat recurrent shoulder dislocations, especially in patients with significant glenoid bone loss. By using arthroscopy, the procedure allows precise placement of the coracoid bone transfer while minimizing soft tissue damage, reducing post-operative pain, and accelerating recovery.

What is the Arthroscopic Latarjet Procedure?

The Arthroscopic Latarjet Procedure is a minimally invasive surgery to address chronic anterior shoulder instability. Through small incisions, a portion of the coracoid process with attached tendons is transferred to the front of the glenoid using arthroscopic guidance. This “bone block” stabilizes the shoulder, prevents recurrent dislocations, and maintains optimal shoulder function with less tissue disruption compared to the open technique.

Benefits of Arthroscopic Latarjet Procedure

The Arthroscopic Latarjet Procedure provides several advantages for patients with recurrent shoulder instability:

Minimally invasive approach reduces tissue trauma, pain, and scarring.
Provides stable shoulder reconstruction even in cases with significant bone loss.
Improves shoulder strength, function, and range of motion for daily activities and sports.
Shorter recovery and faster return to activities compared to open surgery.
Reduces risk of recurrent dislocations and long-term shoulder instability.

Recovery and Outcomes

Initial recovery includes immobilization and gentle shoulder movement.
Physiotherapy is essential to restore shoulder strength, flexibility, and function.
Patients usually regain light shoulder use within a few weeks depending on progress.
Return to sports or high-impact activities is typically possible within 4–6 months.
Successful arthroscopic Latarjet procedures restore shoulder stability, function, and long-term joint health.
