title: Good clinical outcome of combined Bankart-Bristow procedure for recurrent shoulder instability: 126 patients followed for 2-6 years.
abstract: 126 patients (100 men) with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation or subluxation with severe Bankart lesion were treated with a combined Bankart and modified Bristow procedure and reviewed for this study. The mean age at operation was 25 (14-69) years, and mean follow-up period 41 (24-75) months. Averages of the Rowe score, the Constant score and the ASES score at final follow-up were 90, 95 and 91 points, respectively. The clinical outcome was excellent in 97 patients (77%), good in 16 (13%) and fair in 13 (10%). 2 patients had resubluxation, while no patient had a complete redislocation. The average loss of range of motion of external rotation, as compared to the contralateral shoulder side was 13 degrees. 67 of 72 patients returned to sports. No major postoperative complications occurred. This procedure had an excellent clinical outcome in cases of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation or subluxation.
