This report is being filed after the review of the following journal article: tamai, k., "clinical results of bankart repair with suture anchors" (japan) this study emphasizes on analyzing the clinical results of the bankart repair using suture anchors as compared to those of the conventional transosseous suture technique.The patients evaluated on course of this study: 83 shoulders in 83 patients with recurrent anterior instability of the shoulder of traumatic origin who underwent bankart repair and followed up for more than one year after surgery.There were 68 males and 15 females.The age at operation ranged from 15 to 60 (average, 25) years.Of the 83 patients, 46 were operated with the conventional transosseous suture technique (group t|, 15 with statak soft-tissue attachment device (group s), and 22 with mitek g ii anchor (group m).The average follow-up period was 3.7, 2.2 and 1.5 years, respectively.The functional results were assessed with rowe's scoring system (1978).The recurrence was recorded in one patient (2.2%) in group t, 5 (33%) in group s and 3 (14%) in group m.The rowe's score totaled 55-100 (average, 89) in group t, 15-100 (average, 72) in group s and 25- 100 (average, 83) in group m.Excellent and good results were obtained in 40 (87%), 9 (60%) and 18 (82%) patients, respectively.Dislodgment of the suture anchor was encountered once in a patient in group m.When the fair and poor results were analyzed, limitation of postoperative shoulder motion was the major hindrance to satisfactory function in group t, whereas the high recurrence rate was in group s and group m.The article describes the following procedure: bankart repair with suture anchors the devices involved were: 46 were operated with the conventional transosseous suture technique (group t|, 15 with statak soft-tissue attachment device (group s), and 22 with mitek g ii anchor (group m) complications mentioned in the article were: - dislodgment of the suture anchor was encountered once in a patient in group m.
