Sumario:INTRODUCTION: We present a case report of an iatrogenic conjoint tendon avulsion fracture following arthroscopic Latarjet and salvage technique to address the complication with a novel double sling technique. CASE REPORT: A 16-year-old male patient who presented with recurrent instability of the right shoulder was counseled for an arthroscopic Latarjet procedure, taking account of critical glenoid bone loss and his contact sporting activities. An intraoperative coracoid tip fracture occurred, which was managed with the double sling technique. At 1-year follow-up, the patient has made a good recovery with a full range of movements and a stable shoulder; the CT scans showed a well-approximated coracoid tip fragment. CONCLUSION: Iatrogenic intraoperative coracoid graft fractures during arthroscopic Latarjet can be managed depending on the site of the fracture and quality of the bone. The double sling fixation technique helps in maintaining the sling action of the conjoint tendon in patients with recurrent instability.
