Accelerated Rehabilitation After Arthroscopic Bankart Repair Surgery

Accelerated Rehabilitation After Arthroscopic Bankart Repair Surgery

The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate the efficacy of an accelerated rehabilitation regime for patients undergoing early arthroscopic stabilization for first-time anterior dislocation in terms of clinical outcome, return to play data and recurrence rates.

Traditional rehabilitation regimes post arthroscopic stabilization commonly stipulate a period of immobilization of between 2 weeks and 6 weeks.This is apparently embedded in practice and is reportedly based on tissue healing times. However early mobilisation would allow good clinical results in terms of clinical outcome, return to play data and recurrence rates.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patient were included based on their history of a clear mechanism of injury resulting in traumatic anterior dislocation, with clear evidence of labral injury confirmed on magnetic resonance imaging.

Exclusion Criteria:

• patients with inflammatory, autoimmune, endocrine or kidney diseases
• Recurrence
• Bony Bankart Lesion
