Does Capsuloplasty Reduce External Rotation After Coracoid Impingement?

In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The coracoid anchor (Latarjet procedure) is the gold standard technique for treating recurrent anterior shoulder instability. Despite excellent postoperative stability, a reduction in external rotation has been reported, which can affect function, glenohumeral kinematics, and return to sports, particularly among athletes in combat and contact sports. The combination of an anterior capsuloplasty with the coracoid buttress is performed inconsistently among surgeons, with no consensus; the capsular repair techniques associated with the Latarjet procedure vary widely among teams. Some teams routinely perform capsular repair to enhance stability and reposition the capsule on the glenoid rim, while others consider it non-essential and potentially responsible for further limiting external rotation. To date, there are few studies specifically evaluating the impact of capsuloplasty on joint ran
