Comparison of clinical outcomes and CT analysis for tunnel diameter after arthroscopic Bankart repair with the all-suture anchor and the biodegradable suture anchor
Arthroscopy Apr 18, 2019
Lee JH, et al. - Thirty-three candidates who underwent surgery with a 1.3-mm (single-loaded) or 1.8-mm (double-loaded) all-suture anchor (group A), and 34 cases who underwent surgery with a 3.0-mm biodegradable anchor (10.8 mm in length, 30% 1,2,3-trichloropropane/70% poly-lactide-co-glycolic acid) (group B) were analyzed. Researchers examined the clinical outcomes and radiological findings at the anchor site following arthroscopic Bankart repair with all-suture anchors and biodegradable suture anchors in recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation cases. At 2 years after surgery, clinical outcomes and postoperative stability were comparable in Arthroscopic Bankart repair with the all-suture anchor vs the conventional biodegradable suture anchor. At the 1-year computed tomography analysis, they reported significantly greater tunnel diameter increment of the all-suture anchor as compared to that of the biodegradable suture anchor.
