Functional outcomes of an open latarjet procedure for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation in Yemen.

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
introductionShoulder dislocations occur in approximately 45% of all joint types, and anterior shoulder dislocations account for more than 90% of cases. The purpose of this study was to assess the functional outcomes of an open Latarjet operation for patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations.
methodsA prospective hospital-based study was conducted at the Orthopaedic Department of Al Thawra Modern General Hospital, Sana'a City, between 2015 and 2022. Consecutive patients who experienced recurrent anterior shoulder instability underwent the open Latarjet procedure. Preoperative and postoperative clinical, radiographic, and functional outcomes according to the Rowe score were assessed during the study period.
resultsTwenty patients, with a mean age of 20.9 ± 2.9 years, were included in this study. The most common age group at surgery was ≤ 20 years (70%). The median number of recurrent dislocations before surgery was 25. 40% of the patients presented more than two years after the first dislocation, with a mean duration of 2.5 ± one year. Postoperatively, haematoma, infection, neurovascular injury, graft malposition, graft nonunion and osteoarthritis were not observed in any patient. However, one patient (5%) had a stress fracture in the coracoid graft. All patients showed improvement in the preoperative mean Rowe score of 6.5 ± 4.6 to the postoperative mean Rowe score of 91 ± 7% (an excellent grade) at the last follow-up.
conclusionThe open Latarjet procedure had excellent outcomes with a very low rate of complications in this study. We recommend the open Latarjet procedure for the management of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation in patients with significant glenoid bone defects, especially in developing countries with limited resources, such as Yemen.
