Speaker: Most patients with instability do not have additional surgery after Bankart repair
- May 2, 2014
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — Despite glenohumeral instability recurrence after Bankart repair, most patients do not undergo additional fixation procedures, according to a study presented at the Arthroscopy Association of North America Annual Meeting. Read more Weber said that 65% of patients requested no additional surgery despite the recurrence episodes, and there was a 76% 5-year survivorship. Standard outcome scores were generally positive, he said, although Weber noted shoulder scores could be improved, and instability recurrence rates were directly correlated with patient activity levels. – by Christian Ingram
