Arthroscopic capsular release combined with Latarjet procedure for chronic locked anterior shoulder dislocation secondary to epilepsy: a case report with one-year follow-up
To report the management of a chronic locked anterior shoulder dislocation secondary to epilepsy, complicated by structural injuries.
Approach:
Case Presentation: A 28-year-old female with a history of epilepsy presented with a locked anterior shoulder dislocation and associated injuries.
Intervention: The patient underwent arthroscopic posterior capsular release and glenoid osteoplasty, followed by an open Latarjet procedure with coracoid transfer.
Key Findings:
At 1-year follow-up, shoulder mobility significantly improved and functional scores markedly increased with no recurrence of dislocation.
The patient reported high satisfaction.
Interpretation:
The combination of the Latarjet procedure and arthroscopic release effectively restored shoulder stability and function.
Limitations:
Single case study limits generalizability of findings.
Lack of a control group for comparative analysis.
Conclusion:
The combined surgical approach was effective in managing chronic locked anterior shoulder dislocation due to epilepsy.
