This research aims to compare treatment outcomes of arthroscopic versus open surgery for shoulder dislocation and instability.
Conducted a network meta-analysis of surgical options for shoulder dislocation and instability.
Evaluated postoperative pain using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
Assessed functional outcomes and complication rates post-surgery.
Open Latarjet procedure showed better shoulder stability compared to arthroscopic methods.
Functional outcomes after OL were non-inferior to arthroscopic techniques.
OL procedure correlated with higher postoperative pain and complication rates.

Resumen

The open Latarjet procedure appears to offer superior shoulder stability; however, while functional outcomes for patients undergoing OL are likely to be non-inferior, the procedure is not significantly associated with reduced postoperative pain as measured with the VAS score. Additionally, the OL procedure is associated with an increased likelihood of complications. Consequently, it is essential to implement preventive measures to manage postoperative pain and address potential complications following OL procedure.
