Message: [QUOTE="Giddyup5, post: 3016251, member: 804"] He had a laterjet procedure which attaches a piece of bone to the front of the socket effectively making the socket “larger” in front so it takes more force for it to pop out of socket. The bone is attached by 2 screws. The main concern would be if the screws/bone/fixation broke. This is most effectively diagnosed with X-ray. Sometimes CT scan. A MRI would not be useful because of the metal scatter artifact from the screws. What he had done is the last ditch effort to stabilize the shoulder. There is nothing more surgically that can be done. Looking at the replays, my thought is he will be fine. The imaging hopefully confirms that. [/QUOTE]
