Arthroscopic shoulder stabilization using transglenoid sutures

Abstract

Arthroscopic shoulder stabilization using tr ansglenid sutures Ekelund A, Nyberg R. Arthroscopic shoulder stabilization using transglenoid sutures. Scand J Med Sci Sports 1998: 8: 41-20, 0 Munksgaard, 1998 The results of arthroscopic stabilization using multiple transglenoid sutures in 24 patients with posttraumatic recurrent anterior shoulder instability are presented with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. No serious complications were recorded. There were 2 recurrences. The remaining 22 patients had good or excellent results according to the modified Rowe score, with a median score of 89. The median value for loss of external rotation was 5". Seventeen patients were active in sports and 11 returned to the same sports at the same competitive level.

Is arthroscopic surgery for stabilisation of chronic shoulder instability as effective as open surgery?

“…There were 27 studies which reported on 1267 shoulders using two principal techniques of transglenoid suture for arthroscopic anterior capsulorrhaphy. The failure rates in 16 23,25,[41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54] which described the Caspari technique 55 ranged between 8% and 60% and in 11 26,27,[56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64] reporting on the Morgan technique 11 between 5% and 75%. There was significant heterogeneity in the reported failure rates for each technique (p < 0.01).…”
