Abstract
Objective: To study functional result and redislocation rate of the shoulder after arthroscopic Bankart repair using suture anchors.Methods: Sixteen patients who underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair at Rajavithi Hospital between Jan 2007 and Dec 2008 were enrolled in this study. Demographic data and functional score were collected using the methods of UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) and ASES (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons). Preoperative and postoperative scores were compared using statistical analysis.Results: Postoperative functional scores were statistically better than preoperative scores in all patients. No redislocation was observed. There was no correlation between preoperative number of dislocations and functional result one year after surgery.Conclusion: The functional result after arthroscopic Bankart repair using suture anchors is excellent with proper selection and technique. There was no correlation between preoperative number of dislocations and functional result. Keywords: Anterior shoulder dislocation, Bankart, Suture anchor, functional score, UCLA, ASES
