Comparison of Time to Recurrence of Instability After Open and Arthroscopic Bankart Repair Techniques.

Background: The results of open and arthroscopic instability repairs have been shown to be equivalent in recent literature.

Purpose: To compare the time to recurrence (TTR) of instability and disease-specific outcome measures in patients undergoing open and arthroscopic Bankart repair.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Scaphotrapeziotrapezoid arthrodesis: a follow-up study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to review the results of 800 scaphotrapeziotrapezoid fusions performed over a 27-year period.

Methods: The patients were evaluated for postoperative range of motion, grip and pinch strength, pain, return to work, arthritis, and complications.

Results: The overall range of motion was 70% to 80% of the nonoperated side and strength was 69% to 89%.
