Clinical and Anatomic Predictors of Outcomes After the Latarjet Procedure for the Treatment of Anterior Glenohumeral Instability With Combined Glenoid and Humeral Bone Defects

Conclusion: Workers’ compensation claims were associated with continued instability, and patients with higher preoperative pain levels demonstrated lower SF-12 PCS scores postoperatively. The concept of the glenoid track may be predictive of stability after the Latarjet procedure and may be helpful in surgical decision making regarding the treatment of Hill-Sachs lesions at risk for persistent engagement. Although stability and patient satisfaction are high after the Latarjet procedure, subjective complaints of subluxation may be more common than previously estimated.
