Systematic review reveals higher complication rates in female patients after open Latarjet procedure, suggesting need for careful monitoring.

This review aims to identify sex-specific differences in postoperative outcomes and complications after the open Latarjet procedure.
Conducted systematic searches on PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Scopus using Boolean terms related to sex and Latarjet.
Included articles focused on PROMs, complication risk, and RTS rates post-surgery.
Analyzed nine studies involving 2576 patients with varying follow-up durations.
No significant differences in PROM scores between male and female patients at 24 months follow-up.
Females had 2.8 greater odds of clinical failure compared to males based on PROM measures.
Significantly higher odds of 30-day emergency department visits and pulmonary embolism in females compared to males.
RTS rates were similar between sexes, with no statistically significant differences.

Mun et al. (2026) studied this question.
