The Role of Rotator Interval Closure in Bankart Lesion Repair

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 142 (estimated)

• Sex: All
• Age: 15 Years – 51 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The null hypothesis is that there is no statistical difference between the two treatment groups for any outcome. The investigators suspect that patients who undergo a Bankart lesion repair with rotator interval closure will have lower quality of life and less external rotation compared to patients who undergo a Bankart lesion repair alone. No difference will be observed for recurrence rate between the two treatment groups

Detailed description

Research assessing the role and effectiveness of rotator interval closure is important to attempt to determine the most beneficial and efficient treatment for Bankart lesions and anterior shoulder instability. To date there is only weak evidence supporting the superiority of Bankart lesion repair in addition to rotator interval closure compared to Bankart lesion repair alone. Does Bankart lesion repair with rotator interval closure result in differences in quality of life, range of motion and recurrence at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years in similar patients with Bankart lesions who are treated with Bankart lesion repair alone?

Conditions

• Bankart Lesions
• Anterior Shoulder Instability

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Arthroscopic Bankart Repair alone	Usual arthroscopic Bankart repair
PROCEDURE	Closure of rotator interval	Usual arthroscopic Bankart repair plus rotator cuff interval closure
