Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of arthroscopic Bankart repair using metal suture anchors for treatment of chronic traumatic anterior instability of shoulder joint. Materials and Methods: 85 patients (80 male and 5 female) were included in this study. The average age was 26 (15~52) years old and the period from the first injury to operation was average 20 (6~38) months. All cases had Bankart lesion and 44 cases had Hill-Sachs lesion. The SLAP lesion was associated in 10 cases and 7 cases had partial rotator cuff tear. The average follow-up period was 89 (68~108) months. Results: Preoperative Rowe score was average 29.3 (25~50) and Rowe score improved to 86.8 (40~100), excellent in 28 cases (32.9%) and good in 46 cases (54.1%) at last follow up period and 70 cases (82.4%) had full range of motion of the shoulder. The arthroscopic revision surgery of the shoulder was performed in 3 cases (3.5%) because of postoperative re-dislocation. Conclusion: We concluded that arthroscopic Bankart repair with metal suture anchors is one of the reliable and effective method for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation with Bankart lesion.

Purpose: To compare the results of open and arthroscopic method in recurrent anterior should erinstability. Materials and Methods: The 68 patients who have been taken the open or arthroscopic Bankartrepair for the period of Jan. 1995 to April. 2000. One group (23 patients) had elected an arthroscopic Bankart repair, the other group (45 patients) had chosen open stabilization. Patients were followed up12 to 63 months (ave. 34 months) after surgery. Results: We found 2 cases of subluxation out of open repair group, and then treated by conservative method. There were another 2 cases of dislocation and 2 cases of subluxation out of arthroscopicrepair group, and we have taken out 1 case of reoperation by open method. Using the functional scales by Rowe, the patients who have taken the open method posted at the average point of 87, while the arthroscopic method posted 85 points. Patients satisfaction points were 84.6 and 72.5 respectively. There were no criteria of statistically significant except stability and motion score. Conclusion: Open Bankart repair would be better in stability, and arthroscopic method in ROM gain. Proper patient selection based on physical examination and arthroscopic inspection to optimize the indications contributed to successful treatment.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of arthroscopic Bankart repair using suture anchors for treatment of traumatic anterior instability of shoulder joint. Materials and Methods: We performed arthroscopic Bankart repair using suture anchor in 90 cases and evaluated the results with the functional grading system of Rows and Zarins after patients were followed up for more than 24 months. Results: Combined pathologies identified under arthroscopy were Hill-sachs lesion in 46 cases, SLAP lesion in 12 cases, Rotate cuff lesion in 7 cases. The results were excellent or good in 82(91.1%) cases and redislocation was happened only 3 cases. Conclusion: We concluded that arthroscopic Bankart repair with suture anchors is one of the reliable and effective method for recurrent shoulder dislocation with Bankart lesion.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of arthroscopic Bankart repair using suture anchors for treatment of traumatic anterior instability of shoulder joint .Materials and Methods: We performed arthroscopic Bankart repair using suture anchor in 54cases and evaluated the results with the functional grading system of Rowe and Zarins after patients were followed up for more than 12 months. Results: Combined pathologies identified under arthroscopy were Hill-Sachs lesion in 28 cases, SLAP lesion in 6 cases and chondromalacia of humeral head in 6 cases. The results were excellent or good in 50 cases(92.6$\%$), and redislocation was happened only two cases. Conclusion: We conclude that arthroscopic Bankart repair with suture anchors is one of the reliableand effective method for treatment of recurrent shoulder dislocation with Bankart lesion.

Purpose: This study presents 5 patients who had metallic anchor protrusion on glenoid after Bankart repair in anterior shoulder instability and reviewed the cause, clinical feature and arthroscopic removal technique. Method and Materials: 5 male with average age of 22 years (range 19 to 25 years) were included. 4 patients had arthroscopic Bankart repair and 1 patient had open repair for anterior shoulder instability. They had protruded metallic suture anchors on glenoid and the protruded suture anchors were removed arthroscopically using larger suture anchor empty inserter. Results: 4 patients had painful clicking sound with motion of abduction and external rotation and 1 patient showed shoulder instability. The ROM showed normal except mild degrees loss of external rotation. The position of protruded metallic anchor was 2, 3 and 5 O'clock in three patients and 4 O'clock in 2 patients. In 2 patients, the metallic suture anchor was malpositioned about 5mm off on the medial side from the anterior glenoid edge. All had Outerbrige classification Grade II-III chondral damage on humeral head and 1 patient showed glenoid cartilage destruction. None had shoulder instability after 2 years of follow-up. Constant score was 65 preoperatively and 89 postoperatively. ASES score was 67 preoperatively and 88 postoperatively. Conclusion: Symptoms of protruded suture anchor are not combined with instability. Most of symptoms were revealed from the rehabilitation period and confused with postoperative pain. Prompt diagnosis and early arthroscopic removal or impaction of protruded metallic suture anchor is recommended because of serious glenohumeral cartilage destruction. This is easy and simple and reproducible method to remove protruded metallic suture anchor arthroscopically.
