Researchers of this study note that although the open Latarjet procedure provided significant improvement in clinical scores for patients with anterior shoulder instability and glenoid bone loss, 90.5% of patients showed graft resorption on CT at 1-year postoperatively.
Investigators studied 63 patients who underwent open Latarjet procedures performed during a 3-year period. At 1-year postoperatively, four independent surgeons evaluated the severity of graft resorption on CT scans using a four grade classification system.
