Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Matt shows and explains a surgical procedure for shoulder stabilization, specifically the Latarjet procedure. He begins by discussing patient positioning and setup, emphasizing the importance of proper arm placement to avoid putting undue pressure on the front of the shoulder. He then demonstrates the approach for the surgery, explaining the use of the delto-pectoral approach and identifying anatomical structures such as the coracoid and coracochromial ligament. Dr. Matt shows the steps for harvesting the coracoid and discusses the importance of careful dissection to avoid damaging nerves and vessels. He then proceeds to explain the subscapularis split, capsule management, and preparation of the glenoid surface. Finally, he demonstrates the placement of the coracoid using K-wires and screws, and discusses options for capsule repair. The video concludes with the closure of the surgical site.
