2. The History of the Latarjet Procedure: How Did We Start, Where We are Now, and Why It is Not the Bristow?
What a difference ten years make—better implants, smarter techniques, and a clearer path to pain-free motion. A decade has reshaped the landscape of shoulder arthroplasty, transforming it from an era of experimental enthusiasm into one of refined precision. Ten years ago, the focus was on overcoming the pitfalls of early prosthetic designs—sizing issues, improper implantation angles, and high failure rates. Now, with anatomical reconstruction at the forefront, modern prostheses offer superior stability, convertibility, and longevity.
