Decreased motion with normal strength after Latarjet procedure has minimal impact on return to activity

Purpose The Latarjet procedure can affect the range of motion (ROM) and strength of the shoulder, which determine the time to return to the preinjury level of activity. This study prospectively assessed whether the Latarjet procedure leads to a decrease in range of motion and muscle strength, affect...

Description
Summary:Purpose The Latarjet procedure can affect the range of motion (ROM) and strength of the shoulder, which determine the time to return to the preinjury level of activity. This study prospectively assessed whether the Latarjet procedure leads to a decrease in range of motion and muscle strength, affecting the time to return to the previous level of activity. Methods Fifty-one consecutive patients who underwent the Latarjet procedure for recurrent dislocation of the shoulder were included prospectively. The ROM, strength, Walch-Duplay score, and Rowe score were measured every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 2 years. Radiological assessments were performed to confirm the graft location, union, and the humeral head position in abduction and external rotation (ER). Results Out of 51 patients, 49 completed all follow-ups. The median age was 27 years (17–45 years), and the dominant side was involved in 36 patients. The median number of dislocations was 11 (5–50). Twelve patients were sleep dislocators. There was a significant loss ( p
