Evaluation of Preoperative Factors That Affect the Alpha Angle of Screw Insertion After the Open Latarjet Procedure
The alpha angle after the Latarjet procedure was strongly related to the patient's weight, body mass index, depth of the chest, and the angle between the deltopectoral interval and the plane of screw insertion. To our knowledge, this is the first study in which the preoperative factors that facilitate proper screw fixation in the Latarjet procedure are reported.
