JIMENEZ, Isidro et al. Tecnica de Bristow-Latarjet en la inestabilidad glenohumeral anterior. Rev. Asoc. Argent. Ortop. Traumatol. [online]. 2016, vol.81, n.1, pp.47-52. ISSN 1852-7434.

Objective: To analyze medium-term results in patients who underwent an open Bristow-Latarjet surgery considering the preoperative ISIS value. Methods: Retrospective study of 33 patients operated on between 2005 and 2012; average age: 33 years (range 21-68), median follow-up: 6 years (range 2-9). Results from Rowe and Constant scores, DASH questionnaire were registered and a subjective assessment of the result by each patient was also used. Results: No recurrence was reported. Mean Rowe score was 74.6 (range 15-100) and mean Constant score was 70 (range 32-98). The DASH questionnaire showed a mean value of 22.9 (range 0-73). Seventy-nine percent of patients were satisfied with the results. The migration of a screw occurred in one patient. There were no complications. Conclusions: We believe that Bristow-Latarjet technique is a reliable option, with few complications and a low recurrence rate to treat chronic shoulder instability as reported in literature. Therefore, we believe that it should be used as primary surgery in some cases and the preoperative ISIS scale is an excellent and simple guide to correctly select the surgical technique for each patient.
