Biomechanical Evaluation of Primary Stability in Revision Latarjet Surgery Using Malleolar Screws Following Failure of All-Suture Cerclage Fixation

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the primary stability of revision Latarjet surgery using malleolar screws following failure of all-suture cerclage fixation.
• Biomechanical evaluation comparing malleolar screws to primary screw fixation
• Assessment of primary stability in surgical constructs
• Analysis conducted after failure of all-suture cerclage fixation
• Malleolar screw fixation demonstrated non-inferior biomechanical primary stability compared to primary screw fixation
• Technique offers a viable salvage option for instability following previous fixation failures
