Learning curve for the open Latarjet procedure: a single-surgeon study
Establishing learning curves provides important insight into the complexity of surgical procedures. Our study demonstrates that the oLP has a steep learning curve with significant improvement in operative time after the first 15 cases. Operative time plateaus after 30 cases, indicating proficiency in this procedure. Level of evidence: IV.
