Long-term outcomes following isolated arthroscopic Bankart repair: a 9- to 12-year follow-up.

Background: The long-term outcomes following arthroscopic Bankart repair have been rarely reported. Because of its relative novelty, little is known about recurrent instability, postoperative arthritis, and patient satisfaction, particularly for well-established modern procedures. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes following arthroscopic Bankart repair.

Can Grafts Provide Superior Tendon Healing and Clinical Outcomes After Rotator Cuff Repairs?: A Meta-analysis.

Background: Arthroscopic repair of large to massive rotator cuff tears commonly retear. To improve healing rates, a number of different approaches have been utilized, including the use of grafts, which may enhance the biomechanical and biologic aspects of the repair construct. However, the outcomes after the use of grafts are diverse.

Graft Augmentation Versus Bridging for Large to Massive Rotator Cuff Tears: A Systematic Review.

Purpose: To systematically review the literature on the healing rates and clinical outcomes of the 2 different graft indications (i.e., augmentation vs bridging) during rotator cuff repair.
