Comparison of efficacy between montgomery and Jobe technique and arthroscopic bankart repair in treating traumatic recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation.

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of Montgomery and Jobe technique versus arthroscopic Bankart repair in treating traumatic recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation (ASD).

Methods: A total of 113 patients with traumatic recurrent ASD admitted to our hospital from June 2016 to January 2019 were selected as study subjects, and were divided into Group A and B in accordance with surgical options. The clinical data of the subjects were collected retrospectively. Group A was treated by the Montgomery and Jobe technique, while Group B was treated with arthroscopic Bankart repair. The arthroscopic manifestations were analyzed before and after arthroscopic Bankart repair. Scores of visual analogue scale (VAS) for shoulder joint and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), Constant-Murley Score (CMS), Rowe Score, and complications were compared between the two groups before and after surgery.

Results: Compared with Group A, Group B had a lower score of VAS for the shoulder joint, and higher scores of the range of motion (ROM), functional activities, myodynamia, pain, CMS, vital functions, ASES, and shoulder joint function, and a higher Rowe score after surgery ( < 0.05). The incidence rate (1.75%) of complications in Group B was lower than that (14.29%) in Group A ( < 0.05).

Conclusion: Arthroscopic Bankart repair is superior to the Montgomery and Jobe technique in treating traumatic recurrent ASD. Arthroscopic Bankart repair, exhibiting a high safety profile, is conducive to improving shoulder joint function and pain.
