Patient did not take treatment initially and develop hill sach?s lesion and bankart?s lesion later. Materials and Method: Latarjet procedure is a well known surgical technique designed to treat shoulder instability. In this procedure, coracoid process is transferred to glenoid rim. A cohort formed the basis of retrospective series study that was done in teritiary care medical college and hospitals involving 25 patients treated with latarjet procedure for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations during April 2022 to November 2022.23 patients were available for follow up. Clinical outcomes postoperatively were assessed by ROWE and SPADI scores. Standardized anteroposterior and axial radiographs were used to assess the graft position and union. Results: No shoulder dislocations or subluxations observed post operatively. Two patients complain of vague pain after surgery. No signs of infection seen in any patients after surgery. There was significant improvement in functional outcomes post operatively.
