Abstract
BACKGROUND: This study presents the preliminary clinical results of arthroscopic glenoid labral lesion repair using all-suture anchors in the treatment of recurrent traumatic anterior shoulder instability. METHODS: Seventy patients who underwent arthroscopic shoulder stabilization for traumatic anterior shoulder instability were evaluated in this single center-based retrospective study. Patients with a glenoid defect greater than 20%, off-track engaging Hills-Sachs lesion, multidirectional instability, and generalized ligamentous laxity were excluded. The 62 included patients treated with arthroscopic glenoid labral lesion repair using all-suture anchors were evaluated. The Rowe and Constant scores were used to assess the results. RESULTS: We evaluated 62 patients with a mean age of 26.7 ± 12 years. The mean Rowe and Constant scores were 35 ± 7.2 and 65 ± 6.3, respectively, preoperatively and increased to 93.6 ± 5.3 and 92 ± 4.3, respectively, postoperatively at the mean follow-up of 28.8 months (range, 24-48 months) (P < .001). The redislocation rate was 8.1%. Of the patients, 91.9% had good to excellent clinical scores. Younger age and contact sports were associated with a higher risk of recurrent dislocation (P = .012 and P = .041, respectively). The postoperative functional results were not significantly correlated with the findings concerning the number of dislocations, time until surgery, degree of anterior translation, and number of anchors. CONCLUSION: The use of all-suture anchors for arthroscopic glenoid labral lesion repair for the treatment of recurrent traumatic anterior shoulder instability yields satisfactory clinical results and is a safe and effective option.
