2021 Annual Meeting Shoulder Access Pass-I Cracked My Latarjet Graft

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses intraoperative complications related to coracoid transfer, specifically a fractured graft. They explain the different types of coracoid transfers, including the Traditional Latter-Jay, Congruent-Arc, and Bristow methods. The speaker discusses the potential for higher fracture risks with the Congruent-Arc transfer due to less surface area applied to bone. They also highlight the importance of adequate exposure during coracoid graft harvest and proper coracoid preparation and fixation techniques. The speaker suggests various bailouts, including using one screw for a large enough fragment, suture anchor fixation, buttress plates, and transosseous button fixation. In some cases, a local autograft or complete allograft may be used as alternatives.
