The results of arthroscopic Bankart repair with suture anchors
Abstract
Objectives: We evaluated the results of arthroscopic Bankart repair in patients with postraumatic recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability.
Methods: Sixteen patients (1 female, 15 males; mean age 29 years; range 17 to 37 years) underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair with suture anchors for posttraumatic recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability. Involvement was on the right side in 11 patients, on the left in five patients, and on the dominant side in 14 patients. The range of motion was assessed with a goniometer and muscle strength manually. Pre- and postoperative evaluations included physical examination, the Rowe scale for shoulder functions, anteroposterior and axillary radiographs, and magnetic resonance imaging. The mean follow-up was 32.9 months (range 24 to 55 months).
Results: The mean number of dislocations was eight (range 2 to 18) and the mean time from the first dislocation to surgery was 4.6 years (range 6 months to 18 years). The mean preoperative active forward elevation was 148°, and active external rotation was 45°, which increased postoperatively to 160° and 48°, respectively (p
