Arthroscopic Bankart repair following traumatic recurrent shoulder dislocation: A prospective review of 30 cases

Background: Literature on outcomes of arthroscopic Bankart repair at the intervening time intervals in traumatic recurrent dislocation of shoulder joint is limited. Study Design: Case series. Subjects and methods: A prospective review of 30 shoulders, aged 20–40 years with clinically and magnetic resonance imaging established findings that were treated with primary arthroscopic Bankart repair and followed up for a minimum of 2 years. Outcomes were evaluated using Rowe score and University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) scoring system. Results: The mean age was 26.40 years. All patients had definite trauma history. Average number of dislocation was 13.77 + 18.435 (range: 3–100). Time duration from first dislocation to surgery was an average of 4.80 + 3.576 years. The average size of the lesion was approximately 31% of the glenoid circumference. The number of suture anchors used for fixation did not correlate significantly with any of the scores. The mean Rowe and UCLA scores were 94.16 ± 9.7 and 33.83 ± 3.32, respectively, at final follow-up. The average duration of hospital stay was 7 days. Of the 30 patients, 2 (6.66%) had dislocation events post-operatively. Returns to pre-injury level were available for 27 (90%) of 30 patients. Multivariate analysis of independent Variables: age; side and number of dislocations, time to surgery, duration of surgery, size of lesion, number of anchors, and concurrent Hill–Sachs lesion, shown to have no significant relationship to outcomes. Conclusion: Arthroscopic Bankart repair is an effective and safe technique for treating anterior glenohumeral instability in patients with recurrent traumatic shoulder dislocation.
