The Role of Rotator Interval Closure in Bankart Lesion Repair

Canada142 participantsStarted 2010-02

Plain-language 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
