Arthroscopic Bankart repair using trans-glenoid double-loaded grand knots versus double-loaded suture anchors; is there a difference? a randomized controlled study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anatomical repair of Bankart lesions and restoring the tension of the antero-inferior capsulo-labral complex is the optimum method of surgical treatment with a variety of fixation methods including suture anchors and trans-glenoid sutures. Grand knot technique is a modification of the trans-glenoid sutures technique that can be an alternative to double-loaded suture anchors with a lower cost. We aimed to compare the outcomes and complications of both techniques.

Methods

This is a randomized controlled study that was conducted on 200 patients with recurrent anterior glenohumeral dislocation, of whom 170 patients completed at least a three-year follow-up period. Arthroscopic Bankart repair using two double-loaded knotted suture anchors was performed in 78 cases (Gro
