The Pectoralis Minor–Repairing Latarjet: A Modified Technique to Prevent Postoperative Scapular Dyskinesis After the Latarjet Procedure
The study confirmed that postoperative scapular dyskinesis occurred frequently (25%) after the Latarjet procedure. A simple modification of the original technique, which consists of repairing the pectoralis minor to the coracoid stump, prevented the risk of postoperative dyskinesis, maintaining the stabilizing benefits of the TL procedure.
