on. In 78 cases the dominant and in 75 cases the<br />

non-dominant shoulder were involved. In 10 cases<br />

the Arthroscopic procedure was used to review<br />

and to correct failed Arthroscopic (6 cases) or<br />

open (4 cases) stabilization procedures.<br />

Additional findings: in 87 cases an ALPSA lesion<br />

was corrected, and in 15 cases an additional<br />

superior labral lesion was repaired and in 4 cases<br />

a small osteochondral fragment (bony Bankart<br />

lesion) was removed. The mean follow-up was 2.2<br />

years ranging between 3.5 to 1.1 years.<br />

Results: In spite of the relatively short follow-up<br />

for the second group of patients we encountered<br />

very good preliminary results. At revision of all the<br />

cases we found 9 recurrences for the ABR group<br />

(rePresenter 7.43%) in comparison of the one<br />

reoccurrence in the ABR supplemented by ARIC<br />

procedure (3.12%) thus indicating that recurrent<br />

shoulder dislocations associated with<br />

multidirectional Hyperlaxity should be treated<br />

arthroscopicaly. The operating time was pronged<br />

with an average of 14 minutes for the ARIC<br />

procedure.<br />

The average shortened external rotation was 9<br />

degrees in the second group compared to the 6<br />

degrees encountered in the ABR group. Longer<br />

rehabilitation period was needed in the ARIC<br />

group due to shortened external rotation.<br />

Conclusions: The ARIC is a new technique that<br />

permits a strong reliable closure of the Rotator<br />

Interval. This technique broadens the indications<br />

for Arthroscopic shoulder surgery as a solution for<br />

recurrent dislocations associated with joint<br />

Hyperlaxity.<br />

Key words: shoulder instability, Hyperlaxity,<br />

rotator interval closure, arthroscopy.<br />

Introduction: Rugby players have been reported<br />

to be at high risk for failure after shoulder<br />

stabilisation for anterior shoulder instability. We<br />

report the results of the Latarjet procedure in 85<br />

rugbymen shoulders with a mean follow-up of 7<br />

years.<br />

Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of<br />

1518 patients who underwent open stabilisation<br />

for anterior shoulder instability by the Latarjet<br />

procedure in our department between 1988 and<br />

2002 revealed 125 rugby players. 85 shoulders in<br />

79 patients were reviewed for this study with a<br />

mean follow-up of 7 years (range,1-15). The<br />

average age was 19.5 years (range,12-40). 46<br />

patients had a national or international level. 60<br />

patients had recurrent dislocations and 19<br />

patients had recurrent subluxations. Pre-operative<br />

X-rays revealed 56 osseous Bankart lesions (66%)<br />

and 53 Hill-Sachs lesions (62%). The mean<br />

interval between instability and surgery was 33<br />

months (range, 2-288). At the last follow-up<br />

patients were questioned about the return to<br />

sports. They were further evaluated according to<br />

the Duplay score system.<br />

Results: 93% of the patients were satisfied (40%)<br />

or very satisfied (53%). 53 patients (67%) returned<br />

to playing rugby in an average time of 6 months<br />

(range, 3-24). 16 patients (20%) decided to give up<br />

for reasons unrelated to their shoulder. Rate of<br />

recurrent instability was 7%, one patient (1,1%)<br />

sustained a dislocation (pseudarthrosis due to<br />

biodegradable screw fixation) and subluxation<br />

occurred in 5 patients (5,8%). The average Duplay<br />

score was 76 points. 89% of the patients had<br />

excellent (36%) or good (43%) results. Better<br />

results were observed in patients who were<br />

operated in the first year after the occurrence of<br />

instability (Duplay score=84, 42% excellent and<br />

51% good results).<br />

Conclusion: The Latarjet stabilisation procedure<br />

is a safe and efficient procedure in anterior<br />

shoulder instability. Post-operative stability<br />

appears to be satisfactory in this population in<br />

camparison to that reported with other<br />

techniques. We still recommend it in contact<br />

sports.<br />
