Objective: This study aimed to investigate the e!ect of arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) alone and ABR with an additional remplissage procedure on joint range of motion and functional results in patients with anterior shoulder instability. Methods: This retrospective study included patients treated 1 year ago with either ABR alone or the ABR additional remplissage procedure. The Bankart lesion was determined by magnetic resonance imaging, and the amount of glenoid bone loss was determined by computed tomography. Patients with glenoid bone loss < .05). No significant di!erence was found in internal rotation and Rowe scores between the groups (P=.057, P=.069). A greater improvement was seen in the Rowe score of the ABR+remplissage group (85.2 ± 8.8). No recurrence or complications were observed in any of the patients. Conclusion: The combined procedure of ABR with remplissage may limit joint mobility in patients with anterior shoulder instability. However, it provides satisfactory functional results, with patients in the ABR+remplissage group showing better overall outcomes.
