Editorial Commentary: Classic and Congruent-Arc Latarjet Techniques Are Equally Safe and Effective Procedures, so Choose Whichever Technique Works Best in Your Hands for Your Patients.

The classic and congruent-arc Latarjet techniques are equally safe and effective in restoring glenohumeral stability, even when performed as a revision of a failed stabilization. The classic technique provides a broader contact area for healing and facilitates and improves screw fixation. The congruent-arc technique theoretically optimizes glenohumeral contact forces because of the matched radius of curvature, provides better restoration of glenoid depth, and restores larger glenoid defects. However, rotating the coracoid graft for the congruent-arc technique eliminates the possibility of imbricating the coracoacromial ligament stump to the capsule. Surgeons have little reason to change from one technique to the other; both techniques result in successful outcomes.
