Preliminary results of Bankart repair of anterior shoulder instabilities with suture anchors

Abstract

Objectives: Biomechanically, Bankart repair, which provides restoration of the anteroinferior glenohumeral ligament complex, is accepted as the gold standard in the treatment of chronic anterior glenohumeral joint instability. This study was designed to evaluate the preliminary results of patients with anterior shoulder instability, who underwent Bankart repair using suture anchors. Methods: The study included 16 male patients (mean age 23 years, range 20-27 years) who underwent surgery for anterior glenohumeral instability and had a minimum follow-up of six months. The mean duration between the first dislocation and surgery was five years (range 1-9 years), with a mean of nine dislocations (range 3-25). Preoperatively, magnetic resonance imaging and diagnostic arthroscopy were performed in 11 and five patients, respectively. Bankart repair was performed with suture anchors (n=10) and medial capsular shifting (n=6). The results were evaluated according to Rowe’s Bankart scale. Results: The mean follow-up was 11.5 months (range 6-15 months). One patient developed recurrence caused by the overuse of the shoulder and required revision. No other complications occurred. According to the Bankart scale, excellent (n=11), good (n=2), moderate (n=2), and fair (n=1) results were obtained. Restriction in the external rotation did not exceed 10 degrees except in one patient who developed recurrence. Conclusions: Our preliminary results suggest that open Bankart repair with suture anchors is an appropriate treatment, with low recurrence and minimal restriction in range of motion.
