Unrealistic preoperative patient expectations have been shown to negatively influence patient-reported outcomes of different orthopaedic procedures [7,12,26,33].…”

How Satisfied Are Patients with Arthroscopic Bankart Repair? A 2-Year Follow-up on Quality-of-Life Outcome

“…Our data allow us to hypothesize that a steady state outcome is achieved one year after surgery during short-term follow-up. Warth et al 28 showed, that the top 3 patient expectations before shoulder stabilization were (1) participation in sports, (2) cessation of dislocating, and (3) previous level of function. The associated/corresponding FLZ M subitems showed that these expectations were fulfilled.…”
