Abstract: | ![]() BackgroundIn this report, we describe our preliminary clinical results of arthroscopic Bankart repair in traumatic anterior-inferior shoulder instability using the two-portal method.MethodFrom August 2009 to December 2011, arthroscopic repair of Bankart lesion using this method was performed in 16 consecutive patients who were prospectively enrolled. Fifteen shoulders were treated with two-anchor sutures and one was treated with three-anchor sutures. Twelve patients received metallic anchor screws and four patients received bioanchor screws. The assessments were performed using the Rowe score, the University of California at Los Angeles shoulder rating scale, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, and the shoulder range of motion (ROM) deficit.ResultsWith an average follow-up period of 22.9 months, all shoulder scores improved after surgery (p < 0.001). The average ROM deficit of the operated shoulders was not significant as compared with the healthy side in forward elevation (p > 0.05), but was significant in external rotation (p < 0.05). All of the 16 shoulders remained stable (100%) after the arthroscopic repair surgery. All patients returned to their preinjury levels of daily activity without recurrent problems.ConclusionIn patients with traumatic anterior glenohumeral instability, arthroscopic Bankart repair with the two portal method can provide good results. It can be an alternative method of treating patients with Bankart lesion without associated major glenoid defect or rotator cuff lesion in traumatic anterior-inferior instability. |
