ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the outcome of open repair of Bankart lesion in the treatment of anterior instability of shoulder.Methods From March 2001 to June 2005,34 cases (36 shoulders) of anterior instability of shoulder underwent open repair of Bankart lesion.Twenty-seven shoulders with Bankart injury were diagnosed by CT scan.Nine shoulders were diagnosed as ALPSA(anterior labrum periosteal sleeve avulsion).Twenty-five shoulders presented with anterior instability only,and 11 combined anterior and inferior instability.Twenty-seven cases had a definite history of injury.Twelve cases presented with Hill-Sachs sign.We used open incision to repair lesions to the capsule glenoid labrum complex with suture anchors.Results The average duration of follow-up was 2.2 years (six months to four years).By Walch-Duplay score system,the good to excellent rate was 86.1%,the moderate rate 8.3%,and the poor rate 5.6%.Redislocation occurred in one case after operation due to injury.The rate of recurrence was 3%.Conclusion Open repair of Bankart lesion in the treatment of anterior shoulder in- stability can lead to good recovery of shoulder function,few complications and a low rate of recurrence.
