Abstract:
Various methods have been described for surgical treatment of recurrent shoulder dislocation. Arthroscopic techniques for stabilizing the shoulder have the theoretical advantage of reduced complication, decreased discomfort, and improved motion. The arthroscopic Bankart procedure was performed in 23 cases at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Yonsei University College of Medicine, from January, 1991 to December, 1993. This study is an attempt to evaluate results of arthroscopic Bankart procedure by Caspari's technique. Results of this study were as follows: l. According to the clinical evaluation of Rowe, results were excellent in 18 cases, good in 2 cases, fair in 1 cases and poor in 2 case. The prognosis was related to the size of Hill-Sachs lesion. 2. Complication after treatment included 5 cases of knot problem, 1 case of subluxation, and 2 cases of redislocation. Redislocation was developed in one patient who played ice hockey at 2 months after operation and in one patient who played soccer at 8 months after operation. Subluxation was developed in one patient who had psychologic problem. Among 5 patients who had knot prob- lem, two patients had a operation of removal. In conclusion, Caspari's suture technique in arthroscopic Bankart procedure needs some modification on the insertion point of the guide pin and suturing technique. And arthroscopic Bankart procedure by Caspari's technique offers good cosmetic results, low perioperative morbidity, low complications except knot irritation, and excellent results by the Rowe's criteria for patients with anterior shoulder instability.
