NEW YORK — Bankart repair with remplissage may reduce the risk of re-dislocation up to 2 years postoperatively among patients with anterior shoulder instability and a Hill Sachs lesion, according to results presented at the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Annual Meeting.
Peter B. MacDonald, MD, and colleagues randomly assigned 108 patients with anterior shoulder instability and a Hill Sachs lesion to undergo arthroscopic Bankart repair with (n=54) or without (n=54) arthroscopic supraspinatus remplissage. Researchers recorded Western Ontario Shoulder Instability [WOSI] score, ASES scores, simple shoulder test scores, re-dislocation rates and range of motion at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months postoperatively.
