ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES
This study aimed to compare the preoperative and postoperative outcomes three and six months after arthroscopic Bankart repair of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation among Filipino patients treated at Philippine Orthopedic Center
METHODS
The study included 37 patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation consecutively admitted to our institution. Of these 37 patients, 33 completed the last assessment, and four dropped out. Health assessment questionnaires used were the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) for function, and Short Form 36 (SF-36) for quality of life. Mean and standard deviation presented the variables, while the Wilcoxon sign rank test compared preoperative and postoperative datasets at a 5% significance level. The statistical calculations utilized the MedCalc software.
RESULTS
Compared to preoperative values, there was a significantly reduced pain (p=0.0001), increased range of motion (p=0.0001), enhanced upper extremity function (p=0.0001), and improved quality of life (p=0.0006) three months and six months after surgery.
CONCLUSION
Arthroscopic Bankart repair remains as gold standard treatment option for uncomplicated cases of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation. This study has substantiated evidence that arthroscopic Bankart repair can be pivotal for managing shoulder instability.
