* Latarjet Procedure Versus Iliac-Crest Bone Graft Transfer for Treatment of Anterior Shoulder Instability with Glenoid Bone Loss: A Prospective Randomized Trial

The Latarjet and iliac-crest bone graft transfer (ICBGT) procedure are competing treatment options for anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss. Despite the fact that several clinical, radiological, and biomechanical studies have shown both the advantages and disadvantages for either technique no prospective randomized clincial outcome trials are currently available. Goal of this study was to compare the clincial and radiological outcome of the Latarjet and the ICBGT procedure by means of a prospective randomized trial.
