  • Title: Acute infection with Propionibacterium acnes after a Latarjet coracoid transfer procedure: a case report.
    Author: Erickson BJ, Bhatia S, Biswas D, Verma NN.
    Journal: Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc; 2016 Jun; 24(6):1968-71. PubMed ID: 25209204.
    Abstract:
    Coracoid transfer procedures are highly effective at improving glenohumeral stability in patients with recurrent shoulder instability; complication rates from this procedure are generally low. We present the first case in the literature of a Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) infection following a coracoid transfer. The case stresses the importance of proper antibiotic prophylaxis for patients undergoing Latarjet procedures, as well as the workup for a painful postoperative shoulder, and the need to maintain cultures from the shoulder for up to 21 days to isolate P. acnes.
