Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the Latarjet surgical procedure causes any detectable change in the strength of the biceps muscle post-operatively. If you agree to participate in the study, an appointment will be arranged for you to attend for a preoperative biceps strength test (about 15mins duration) at the University of Western Australia. This will involve taking measurements from a resistance machine similar to gym equipment which records your strength. We will also give you a short questionnaire on your shoulder function for you to complete which will take about 10-15 minutes. Your surgery and rehabilitation will not be affected. After 12 months have passed we will contact you by telephone to arrange a time for you to come in and repeat the strength test and questionnaire to see whether your biceps strength and shoulder function have changed.

Interventions

Measurement of biceps strength (elbow supination and flexion) using a Biodex dynamometer 12months following transfer of the short head of biceps origin as part of the routine Latarjet procedure. This will be compared to a preoperative measurement.
