Functional Outcome of Arthroscopic Bankart Repair in Patients with Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation

Background: Recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation is a common problem among young, active individuals. Arthroscopic Bankart repair has emerged as a favorable treatment due to its minimally invasive nature and excellent functional outcomes.

Aim: To evaluate the functional outcome of arthroscopic Bankart repair in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation.

Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on 10 patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation who underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair. Patients were followed up at 3, 6, and 12 months. Functional outcomes were analyzed using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score and Rowe score.

Results: There was significant improvement in functional scores in 12 months postoperatively (mean

ASES score increased from 45.3 to 91.6; Rowe score increased from 38.4 to 89.2; p < 0.001).

Conclusion: Arthroscopic Bankart repair leads to significant improvement in functional outcomes in patients with recurrent shoulder dislocations
