Evaluation of long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of arthroscopic bankart repair: a five-year retrospective study

Aims: This study examined the clinical and radiographic results of individuals following arthroscopic Bankart shoulder stabilization over a minimum of five years. Additionally, methodological quality and bias evaluations were conducted to enhance the study's scientific legitimacy. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 103 individuals who had arthroscopic Bankart repair between 2010 and 2015. A history of anterior shoulder dislocation and a minimum 5-year follow-up time were prerequisites for inclusion. The Chi-square test was used to examine the clinical and radiographic data, and a significance level of p<0.05 was approved. Results: Radiographic assessments revealed normal results, and 80.58% of individuals had excellent clinical outcomes. The rates of subluxation and recurrent dislocation were 7.77% and 11.65%, respectively. The results showed that the right side performed better than the left. Conclusion: Following arthroscopic Bankart surgery, low recurrence rates and good patient satisfaction were noted. Gender and side differences, however, highlight the significance of tailored treatment strategies.
