[Arthroscopic Bankart repair].
Traumatic anterior shoulder instability is the most common type of shoulder instability. Treatment is surgical and there is no single best procedure. Arthroscopic Bankart repair restores stability by reattaching the labrum or capsule directly to the anterior glenoid rim. The aim of the study was to assess the clinical value of the arthroscopic Bankart repair. Between 2001 and 2005 twenty eight patients with traumatic anterior shoulder instability were treated. During the operation the capsulolabral tissue was mobilized from the anterior glenoid rim and neck of scapula, then 3 Mitek suture anchors were inserted and the labrum was sutured to the anterior glenoid rim. The patients were clinically evaluated according to MISS questionnaire. Up till now the recurrence of the anterior shoulder instability were not seen in the 25 patients operated with the aforementioned method. MISS questionnaire values were significantly higher following the surgery. Arthroscopic Bankart repair restores joint stability, helps to avoid complications associated With opening of the shoulder and gives a better cosmetic effect.
