Arthroscopic transglenoid multiple suture repair: 2 to 8 year results in 150 shoulders.
One hundred fifty-six arthroscopic transglenoid multiple suture repairs were performed for chronic anterior shoulder instability. In 150 shoulders (96% follow-up), the outcome with respect to recurrence of instability and the Bankart Score was determined a minimum of 2 years and a mean of 4.1 years after surgery (range, 2 to 8.2 years). During the follow-up interval, 11 shoulders (7.3%) redislocated. Fourteen other shoulders (9.3%) had at least one episode that we interpreted as recurrent subluxation. Shoulders with a Bankart lesion and younger patients had a higher probability of recurrent instability (P < .05). We concluded that this method is most effective in shoulders without a Bankart lesion and in patients older than 25 years of age (regardless of pathology).
