The question is: Any thoughts which (portion) of bone was cut and moved?
My daughter Lena (age 20) was a full time athlete (alpine ski racing), but after 8 surgeries in only 4 years, she decided to “retire” from full time ski racing!
Both Lena and my husband Wolfgang have “loose joints” (hypermobile), related to collagen in their connective tissues. Wolfgang has had 5 shoulder surgeries and Lena has had 3, due to constant shoulder dislocations when playing sports.
They both had one particular surgery that is described below. The surgery worked for Wolfgang, but unfortunately for Lena, she will need a repeat surgery (now with cadaver tissue) at some point in the future (but is holding out as long as she can!)
During the surgery the surgeon cut a “process” off of a bone and transferred it with muscle attachments to the anteroinferior rim of the glenoid. This replaces the missing area of glenoid (missing from constant dislocations), and the muscle attachments help to stabilize the joint. Remember that the glenoid is the cavity (“socket”) on the scapula that articulates with the superior head of the humerus (“ball”).
I need the question answered, you can out source but make sure to cite this needs to be an essay response. Also the correct surgery is below to help.
The surgery was a Latarjet procedure, during which they cut a portion of the coracoid process of the scapula (!) and transfer it (with muscle attachments) to the glenoid (anteroinferior rim) of the scapula. This replaces the missing area of glenoid, and the muscle attachments on the coracoid help to stabilize the joint.
