Restoring Shoulder Control: Latarjet Surgery with Dr. Rohit Sane

When a shoulder dislocates multiple times, it may not be due to muscle weakness or improper recovery alone. In many patients, especially those with previous trauma, there is a measurable loss of bone from the front of the shoulder socket.

This loss prevents the ball of the shoulder from staying in place during overhead or rotational movement. If soft tissue repairs have failed or the bony loss is extensive, a more stable and structured solution becomes necessary.

The Latarjet procedure is a proven surgical method that restores stability to the shoulder by transferring a small piece of bone and tendon to the front of the socket. It addresses both bone loss and soft tissue insufficiency by creating a stable new structure and dynamic muscular support. Dr. Rohit Sane performs this intricate surgery to perfection. His expertise within this field has offered patients (who have experienced repeated dislocations) a reliable solution.

How the Latarjet Procedure Works

The Latarjet involves transferring a section of the coracoid bone, along with its attached tendons, to the front of the shoulder socket. This operation works in three distinct ways to restore control:

Bone Block Stabilisation

The transferred bone extends the front edge of the socket and prevents the humeral head from slipping out.

Muscle Sling Support

The relocated tendon acts as a dynamic support structure during shoulder motion. It prevents forward slipping of the joint during positions that place the shoulder at risk (especially during lifting or rotational activity).

Capsular Reinforcement

In many cases, the procedure includes reinforcement of the surrounding capsule. This helps strengthen the joint by adding another layer of protection, particularly during early healing.
