Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Arthroscopic glenoid labrum repair is the main therapy for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation, which cannot meet the demands of shoulder stability. How to strengthen the anterior shoulder stability is an issue that is always explored and pursued.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effectiveness of arthroscopic glenoid labrum repair and combined joint capsule and partial subscapularis suture for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation.
METHODS: Seventy patients admitted for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation at the Department of Orthopedics, First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University in China from October 2010 to August 2013 were enrolled, who received the arthroscopic glenoid labrum repair and combined joint capsule and partial subscapularis suture. Patients undergoing post-operative systematical rehabilitation were followed up for Constant-Murley Score and the ROWE Score for Instability, and shoulder stability and motor functions were evaluated in patients.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The 70 patients were followed-up for 11-46 months. Complications only appeared in one patient with acute pulmonary edema and five patients with elbow or forearm skin blisters, but all were cured by treatment. Anterior shoulder dislocation disappeared postoperatively in all patients. Sixty-five

patients almost recovered in the range of motion of the shoulder, who were satisfied with normal life and work activity. All the patients returned to work. At the last follow-up, the Constant-Murley score was improved from 71.2±5.3 to 94.3±4.9, and the ROWE score was increased from 32.1±4.2 to 95.1±4.7, both of which were better than before (P < 0.05). This study demonstrated arthroscopic glenoid labrum repair and combined joint capsule and partial subscapularis suture is better for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation, which is conductive to shoulder stability and motor function recovery.
