Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of arthroscopic Bony Bankart repair using a One Anchor Double Fixation Technique. Materials and Method: Seventeen patients with a Bony Bankart lesion were treated using the One Anchor Double Fixation Technique (OADF Technique). There were 13 males and 4 females. The average age was 24 years (range 17-42). The average follow-up period was 22.3 months. One 3.0 mm suture anchor with doubly loaded sutures was inserted into the glenoid rim. One suture strand was passed the around the small bony fragment and tied first. Another suture strand was passed through the capsule and tied over the bony fragment. The result was measured using Rowe's evaluation index & KSS score. The glenoid defect & bony fragment were measured by 3D-CT scan. Results: Rowe's evaluation index on the final follow-up showed an overall improvement from an average of 54 (range, 23-71) to 83.4 (range 71-90). Of the 17 cases, 13 were excellent, 3 were good, and 1 was fair. KSS scores showed improvement from an average of 71 (range 49-82) to 92.5 (range 82-94). There were no cases where pain continued to the final follow-up, and no cases being re-dislocated during the follow-up period. For six cases, we confirmed the bony healing of the bony Bankart lesion by CT. Conclusion: Bony Bankart lesion repair using this new method achieves excellent clinical results with low recurrence rates and is considered another choice for bony Bankart lesions.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical results of absorbable knot-tying and absorbable knotless suture anchors in arthroscopic Bankart repair. Materials and Methods: This study compared the patients who underwent arthroscopic Bankart repairs using absorbable knottying suture anchors (59 patients: KT Group), and absorbable knotless suture anchors (52 patients: KL Group). Preoperative and postoperative evaluations were performed by Rowe scores, patient satisfaction score, visual analogue scale (VAS), American shoulder and elbow surgeons (ASES) score, range of motion (ROM), and re-dislocation rate. Results: Postoperative VAS, Rowe scores, ASES score were significantly not different between the 2 groups (VAS: p=0.250, Rowe score: p=0.412, ASES: p=0.052). Mean postoperative VAS was 0.5 in KT Group and 0.8 in KL Group (p=0.250), and limited ROM was noted only in one patient in KL Group. Mean Rowe score was 94.3 in KT Group and 96.3 in KL Group (p=0.412), and mean ASES score was 97.3 in KT Group and 94.0 in KL Group (p=0.052). Re-dislocation rate were no different between the 2 groups. Conclusion: There were no differences in clinical outcomes and re-dislocation rate between Knot-Tying and Knotless repairs.

관절와 병변은 급성 외상으로 인한 골절뿐 아니라 불안정성으로 인한 골 침윤으로 정의할 수 있으며, 이는 통상의 방사선학적 검사를 통하여 진단을 하지 못하는 경우도 있다. 전방 탈구와 동반된 전방 관절와 골절의 빈도는 5.4%에서 32%까지 보고되었다. Hovelius 등이 226명의 탈구환자를 대상으로한 연구에서 8%의 관절와 골절이 있었다고 보고하였고, 노령의 환자에서 약간의 빈도가 증가한다고 하였다. 또한 Rowe는 전방 관절와 골절이 있는 27명의 환자에서 기계적 안정성의 결함으로 62%의 재발성 탈구가 있었다고 보고하였다. 보다 최근의 방카르트 술기에 대한 보고에서 수술적 처치를 한 환자중 44%가 관절와 골절을 동반하였다고 보고하였다. Rowe 와 Zarins는 다발성 전방탈구 환자에서 관절와 병변이 잘 치료되었는지 여부에 따라 다른 결과를 낸다고 보고하였다. 전자에 따르면, 관절와 병변을 진단하는 것은 중요하며 환자의 최종적 예후는 이를 어떻게 치료했는지 여부에 따라 결정된다고 하였다. 관절와 상완관절의 불안정성에서 동반된 관절와 병변의 진단은 보존적 치료시나 수술적 치료 시 모두 중요한 인자라고 하겠다.

Purpose: We reviewed arthroscopic reconstruction among the several treatment options for anterior shoulder instability with a bony Bankart lesion. Materials and Methods: Although open Bankart repair has long been considered the optimal surgical management of anterior shoulder instability, advancements in arthroscopic techniques have led to a recent shift to arthroscopic Bankart repair. However, for cases of a glenoid bony defect, several authors have reported various methods to accurately measure the amount of bony defect. Results: The arthroscopic technique of bony Bankart reconstruction continues to evolve and various methods have followed. To overcome the limitations of single fixation of a Bankart lesion, arthroscopic dual fixation (2 point fixation) has recently been tried to anatomically repair and restore the rigid fixation of a bony fragment. The concept of performing the Bristow-Latarjet transfer procedure under arthroscopy has also recently emerged. However, a large series of cases and long term follow up are required to prove the better results. Conclusion: To obtain a successful outcome for patients with anterior instability with a glenoid bony defect, it is imperative that the surgeon be aware of the accurate status of the bony defect and the intraoperative, postoperative factors associated with the proper treatment of this unstable pathology.

We introduce arthroscopic Bankart repair technique using antegrade suture passer that can effectively restore detached anteroinferior capsulolabral complex for shoulder anterior instability. After diagnostic arthroscopy is performed using posterior, anteroinferior and anterosuperior portals, we confirm Bankart lesion and perform debridement and decortications of anteroinferior glenoid edge and neck. Suture anchor is inserted through anteroinferior portal at 2 mm medial side of glenoid edge (4:30 direction). Scorpion$^{TM}$ loaded suture is directly advanced to detached and retracted anteroinferior capsulolabral complex and the suture is passed at 10~15 mm medial side of detached anteroinferior capsulolabral complex (5:30 direction). The suture is retrieved by Scorpion's hook and then is tied using samsung medical center (SMC) sliding knot technique. Then suture anchors are serially inserted (2:30, 3:30) and capsulolabral complex repair is performed using suture hook and suttle-relay technique. This technique that can obtain anatomical restoration of anteroinferior glenohumeral ligament with proper tension is useful technique to reduce postoperative recurrence and makes it possible for less experienced surgeons.

Purpose: Too develop a flexible drill device that can be inserted into the shoulder joint so that arthroscopic transosseous suture repair for Bankart lesion is possible. Materials and Methods: We created a device composed of a flexible drill unit and a guide pipe unit. The flexible drill unit was made of flexible multifilament wires (1.2 mm in diameter) that was twisted into one cord so that it can flex in any direction and a drill bit (1.2 mm in diameter) that is attached onto one end of the flexible wire. The guide pipe unit was a 150 mm long metal pipe (2.0 mm in inner diameter and 3.0 mm in outer diameter), with one end bent to 30 degrees. The flexible drill set was inserted into the shoulder joint through the posterior portal of the joint. The guide pipe component was placed onto the medial wall of the glenoid so that the pipe was placed 5 mm posterior to the margin of the anterior glenoid rim. The flexible drill was driven through the glenoid by the power drill so that holes were made in the glenoid. A non- absorbable suture was passed through the hole. Tying of a sliding knot tying was accomplished over the capsule and labrum after making a stitch through the capsule and labrum with a suture hook loaded with suture passer. The same procedures were done at the 2 and 4 O'Clock positions of the glenoid. Results: Five cases with Bankart lesion received arthroscopic transosseous repair with our flexible drill device. There were no intraoperative problems. Neither redislocation nor subluxation was reported at final follow-up. Conclusion: Arthroscopic transosseous suture repair without suture anchors and easy tying of a sliding knot are possible with a flexible drill set.
