1 Arthroscopic Bankart Repair for Recurrent Traumatic Anterior Shoulder Dislocation Thavatchai Tiamklang M.D. Department of Orthopedic, Khon Kaen Hospital Abstract Purpose & Method To evaluate results of arthroscopic Bankart repair for patients with recurrent traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation at Khon Kaen Hospital between January 2005 and December 2007.A consecutive series of 15 patients(13 men, 2 women; mean age 29.9 years) with recurrent traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation were treated with arthroscopic Bankart repair and were evaluated the results from shoulder scores of Modified scale of Rowe and Zarins and shoulder scores of American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon scale. Results The mean shoulder scores of Modified scale of Rowe and Zarins were 25.3, preoperatively and were improved to 86.0,postoperatively. And the mean shoulder scores of American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon scale were 28.5,preoperatively and were improved to 90.8, postoperatively. The mean shoulder scores between preoperative and postoperative treatment were significantly different(p<0.01).the failure rate was 6.7%. Conclusion The results of arthroscopic Bankart repair for patients with recurrent traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation were good and appreciated in pain-relief, stability and function with the acceptable failure rate. Keywords : Shoulder dislocation, Arthroscopic Bankart Repair
