To demonstrate whether arthroscopic remplissage can achieve good outcomes without significantly impairing shoulder function. Methods: Consecutive patients with recurrent anterior glenohumeral dislocation, glenoid bone loss <20%, and engaging HilleSachs lesion who were operated with arthroscopic Bankart repair and remplissage between 2013 and 2016 were identified. Patients were evaluated clinically for shoulder instability, range of motion, and scored as per Oxford Shoulder Instability Score and University of California at Los Angeles score. The data were analyzed with the paired t test and the Wilcoxon signed rank test, as applicable. For all analyses, statistical significance was set at P < .05. Results: Twenty-four patients were included in the study. The average age of the patients was 30 years (range, 18-47 years), with 91.67% (n ¼ 22) male patients and 8.33% (n ¼ 2) female patients. The range of motion at follow-up was comparable with the normal side, with loss of external rotation of 3.33 (n ¼ 24). Significant improvement was observed in the Oxford Shoulder Instability Score (21.95 vs 41.29, P < 0.001) and University of California at Los Angeles score (18.33 vs 30.29, P < .001). A failure rate of 4.17% (1 patient with a positive apprehension test) was seen. Conclusions: Arthroscopic Bankart repair with the remplissage procedure helps to re-establish stability and achieve good shoulder outcomes for patients with recurrent anterior glenohumeral dislocation and an engaging HilleSachs lesion and without significant glenoid bone loss. Level of Evidence: Level IV, therapeutic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
