Arthroscopic Bankart repair for recurrent shoulder instability: A retrospective study of 86 cases

Abstract

The purpose of our study was to retrospectively evaluate the outcomes of arthroscopic Bankart repair in 86 patients, who met the inclusion criteria of at least one episode of shoulder dislocation, with a minimum follow-up of one year. Outcome was measured by the use of Western Ontario Shoulder Instability (WOSI) score. At the end of our study, the recurrence rate was 7%. Young age (p = 0.016) and ligamentous laxity (p = 0.003) were associated with recurrence. Arthroscopic Bankart repair is a reliable treatment method, with good clinical outcomes. Patients with younger age or with ligamentous laxity were at the greatest risk of recurrence.

Keywords: Arthroscopic; Bankart; Instability; Shoulder; WOSI.
