In this study The majority of problems encountered in the modified Latarjet procedure postoperatively are related to inadequate surgical technique, improper drilling or graft harvesting may lead to intraoperative graft fracture, Our results close to those reported in most published series, in terms of complication rates and postoperative functional scores . Laterjet procedure is good option in patients who wish to practice a competitive sport and are poor candidates for arthroscopic Bankart repair due to bony defects.Labrum saving during laterjet procedure in shows better results as regard patient range of movement and musle power and proprioception compared with those patients whom undergone operation without labrum saving. Using of two screws is better than one screw in fixation of the coracoid graft and gives better results as regard healing
