Repairing instability in the anterior-inferior the shoulder joint arthroscopically, using the 5:30-o'clock portal, can show excellent results, according to a study published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine.
Researchers studied 221 patients treated with arthroscopic stabilization for an anterior-inferior shoulder dislocation. The male and female patients ranging between 14 and 59 years old were examined for the study. Concomintant SLAP lesions were seen in 38 of the cases.
Re-dislocation rates varied depending on the anchor systems used during the procedure and correlated with patient age as well as prior dislocation. Return to sports at pre-injury level was possible in 80 percent of the cases.
