The Bristow-Latarjet system was developed by orthopedic surgeon Laurent Lafosse, MD, and allows surgeons to smoothly transition between open and arthroscopic procedures, according to the release.

The new system includes the Coracoid Drill guide to help create the optimal location for drill holes in the coracoid graft and the Coracoid Positioning Cannula that holds the graft for more precise positioning, according to the release.

DePuy is expected to launch the news system in the next few weeks.
