OBJECTIVE@#To
review the
research progress of
bone graft resorption after Latarjet
procedure for the
treatment of recurrent anterior
shoulder dislocation, and provide a guide for further
research on
bone graft resorption.@*
METHODS@#The relevant
literature in recent years was extensively reviewed. The pathogenesis,
classification,
risk factors, clinical function impact, and management of
bone graft resorption after Latarjet
procedure for the
treatment of recurrent anterior
shoulder dislocation were summarized.@*RESULTS@#
Bone graft resorption is the common complication after Latarjet
procedure for the
treatment of recurrent anterior
shoulder dislocation. Stress shielding and poor
blood supply may contribute to the occurrence of
bone graft resorption. The absence of significant preoperative glenoid
bone loss, open
procedure, earlier
graft healing may to be the
risk factors for
bone graft resorption. Various assessment
methods and
classification systems are used to evaluate the region and severity of
bone graft resorption. Partial resorption may be considered as a natural glenoid
remodeling process after the
surgery, but severe and complete resorption is proved to be one of the reasons for failed
procedures and there is no effective
measure to prevent it, except for accepting
revision surgery.@*CONCLUSION@#The pathogenesis,
risk factors, clinical function impact of
bone graft resorption after Latarjet
procedure for the
treatment of recurrent anterior
shoulder dislocation has not been fully elucidated and there is a lack of effective management
strategies, so further clinical and basic researches are needed.
