Results of suture anchor repair of anteroinferior shoulder instability: a prospective clinical study of 85 shoulders

The results of an open Bankart procedure with use of suture anchors were evaluated in 85 shoulders in 83 patients. The mean age was 30 years (range, 16-59 years). The mean number of preoperative dislocations was 18.5. Patients were evaluated prospectively by the Rowe score. Eighty-five shoulders wer...

Description
Summary:The results of an open Bankart procedure with use of suture anchors were evaluated in 85 shoulders in 83 patients. The mean age was 30 years (range, 16-59 years). The mean number of preoperative dislocations was 18.5. Patients were evaluated prospectively by the Rowe score. Eighty-five shoulders were followed for 1 year and seventy-seven for at least 2 years. The mean follow-up was 3.5 years (range, 1-8.3 years). The Rowe score increased from 30 to 92 points. An excellent or good result was found in 81 of 85 shoulders after 1 year and in 68 of 77 shoulders after 2 years. Seven redislocations occurred, four due to a new trauma. Two patients had recurrent subluxations, one due to a new trauma.
