Knotted vs knotless anchors for labral repair in the shoulder – A systematic review

Arthroscopy Dec 14, 2020

Matache BA, Hurley ET, Kanakamedala AC, et al. - This study was undertaken to correlate biomechanical and clinical outcomes between knotless and knotted anchors in arthroscopic labral repair, specifically in Bankart repair, superior labrum, anterior-posterior repair, posterior labral repair, and remplissage augmentation of Bankart repair. Researchers carried out to search MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library according to the PRISMA guidelines to find biomechanical and clinical studies comparing knotted and knotless anchors using the search term “knotless anchor”. A total of 17 studies were included. No significant differences were found in outcomes between knotless and knotted anchors for labral repair in the shoulder, including Bankart repair, SLAP repair, and posterior labral repair. Nevertheless, in the biomechanical studies, there was conflicting data supporting knotless or knotted anchors. Nevertheless, with the use of knotless anchors, operative times may be decreased.
