Complications after open Latarjet procedure: influence of arm positioning on musculocutaneous and axillary nerve function

Changes in Scapular Function, Shoulder Strength, and Range of Motion Occur After Latarjet Procedure

“…They found no changes in conduction in the neutral position, but 36% of cases (n = 4) showed neurophysiological changes in the externally rotated position. 36 However, in the medium-term follow-up, this did not have a clinical impact. Because the impact on functional outcomes seems limited, the adapted anatomy is relevant for revision surgery.…”

“… 35 A clinical study showed no changes in nerve conduction of the musculocutaneous nerve in the neutral position, but changes did occur in the externally rotated position. 36 …”

“…To determine the clinical impact of the transposition, Lópiz et al. 36 studied the neurophysiological effects on the musculocutaneous nerve. They found no changes in conduction in the neutral position, but 36% of cases (n = 4) showed neurophysiological changes in the externally rotated position.…”
