Arthroscopic Latarjet: Transition from Open to All Arthroscopic.
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The Latarjet technique is the gold standard for treatment of anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss or hyperlaxity. Since its initial description by Latarjet in 1954, the procedure has undergone significant evolution. While existing literature describes each of the various advances and alterations in technique, there is no existing literature that describes the complete history of the Latarjet procedure. Questions/Purposes: The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive review of the evolution of the Latarjet procedure, while highlighting the underlying biomechanical principles of the technique. Methods: This study was performed as a systematic review of literature aimed at characterizing the history and rationale of the open Latarjet procedure as well as its initial outcomes and its subsequent evolution of technique. Results: Long-term studies of the open Latarjet procedure have consistently demonstrated low rates of recurrent instability, high patient satisfaction, and high rates of return to sport. Though a reliable procedure, complication rates have been reported between 7-35%. The arthroscopic Latarjet was first described in 2007 and combined the benefits of minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery with the reliability of the open procedure, though with an initial learning curve. Finally, Boileau et al described the utilization of low-profile cortical buttons for fixation in place of the traditional screws. Subsequent analysis has demonstrated no significant biomechanical differences in the two techniques with proposed benefits of improved graft union and positioning as well as decreased rates of neurologic injury. Conclusion: The Latarjet procedure has remained a reliable technique to address anterior shoulder instability. The initial technique has undergone several iterations in an effort to improve outcomes, minimize complications, and capitalize on the benefits of minimally invasive techniques. As technology and techniques improve, we anticipate that the all-arthroscopic Latarjet will become more commonly performed to address anterior shoulder instability.
