Gareth Widdop underwent a latarjet shoulder reconstruction, which involves a bone graft attached to front of shoulder joint to prevent dislocation/instability. Usually requires 4-5 months recovery, which gives Widdop a chance of returning from Rd20 onwards. Latarjet shows great results for contact sport athletes with recurring shoulder dislocation issues (2% failure rate), Widdop previously had an open shoulder reconstruction (6% failure rate). Great video from the Dragons to explain surgery dec
