Summary

Arthroscopic refixation effectively treats shoulder instability from Bankart or ALPSA lesions. This minimally invasive procedure showed excellent or good results in over 90% of patients, with a low recurrence rate.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Arthroscopy

Background:

  • Shoulder instability, particularly from Bankart or anterior labral periosteal sleeve avulsion (ALPSA) lesions, significantly impacts patient quality of life.
  • Arthroscopic techniques offer a less invasive approach to stabilizing the shoulder joint.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of arthroscopic refixation for shoulder instability caused by Bankart or ALPSA lesions.
  • To assess clinical outcomes and recurrence rates following the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Arthroscopic mobilization and refixation of the labrum-ligament complex using absorbable suture anchors.
  • Treatment of 58 patients with Bankart or ALPSA lesions between 1999 and 2001.
  • Clinical follow-up of 56 patients, averaging 31 months, using the Rowe Score.

Main Results:

  • Excellent or good results were achieved in 92.8% of patients (40 excellent, 12 good).
  • The study included 21.4% Bankart lesions and 78.6% ALPSA lesions, some combined with SLAP lesions.
  • A low recurrence rate of 7.2% was observed, with four patients experiencing repeat dislocations.

Conclusions:

  • Arthroscopic refixation with absorbable suture anchors is a highly effective treatment for shoulder instability due to Bankart and ALPSA lesions.
  • The procedure demonstrates favorable long-term outcomes with a low rate of recurrent instability.
