Message: [QUOTE="Giddyup5, post: 2725710, member: 804"] The recurrence rate for Latarjet is extremely low (<5%). In addition, the case series that his surgeon (Provencher) has reported for his recurrence rates are even lower (<1-3%). The issue is not will his shoulder dislocate again; that is very very unlikely. The question Hoop and I have brought up is what will be his performance secondary to the surgery. There is no literature at all looking at basketball performance after a Latarjet procedure--the data just doesn't exist yet. Furthermore, long term (I'm talking 15+ years) patients with laterjet about 50% of them develop arthritis. That shouldn't effect his playing career, but may affect him as he gets older. [/QUOTE]
