Results According to Arthroscopic Repair Methods of Bankart Lesion (Operative Methods According to Labral Tear) / 대한정형외과학회잡지

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To recommend optimal surgical techniques in cases of remaining anterior instability after Bankart repair, according to the amount of remaning labrum. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between December 1996 and April 1999, we experienced 27 pateints that have undergone arthroscopy for recurrent shoulder dislocation. They were followed over 1 year (1 year to 3 year 2 months) and classified into three groups Group I (Arthroscopic Bankart repair by transglenoid technique); 9 cases, Group II (Arthroscopic Bankart repair by suture anchor); 11 cases, Group III (Arthroscopic Bankart repair by transglenoid technique with suture anchor); 7 cases. RESULTS: A significant difference was found between Group I and Group III patients with poor or no remaining labrum, especially in teims of shoulder stability and range of motion recovery. CONCLUSION: Arthroscopic Bankart repair by suture anchor in a shoulder that has good labrum produced a good result. However, in a shoulder with poor labrum, the combination method of transglenoid technique with suture anchor should be considered to reduce recurrency.
