Objective:
To investigate the curative effect of arthroscopic glenoid labrum repair by biodegradable anchor fixation for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation.
Methods:
Twenty-one patients of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation with the average UCLA function score of 22.3 ± 4.1 were treated with arthroscopic glenoid labrum repair by biodegradable anchor fixation. The shoulder was fixed by shoulder-elbow elastic band for 4-6 weeks and canonical exercise of shoulder joint was taken postoperatively.
Results:
The patients were followed up for 3-18(mean 8) months; and the average UCLA score was 32.3 ± 2.6 postoperatively. The excellent results (34-35) were obtained in 11 patients, good (28-33) in 7 patients and fair (21-27) in 3 patients. The activity of shoulder joint was normal in all patients with an excellent subjective degree of satisfaction.
Conclusion:
Arthroscopic glenoid labrum repair by anchor fixation for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation has the advantages of less invasiveness, simpler procedure, reliable fixation, less complications and rapid functional recovery.
