“…[53] A bioresorbable suture anchor made of PLLA was introduced in 2003 under the trade name Biozip. [54] Also, PLLA has been utilized as one of key components incorporated into RapidLoc, a self-adjusting and flexible meniscus repair device. [71] Unlike PLLA, PDLLA degrades faster due to the present of D-lactides in the polymer chains causing disruption to the polymer chain packing, leading to less crystalline structure and more rapid resorption.…”

Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is a class of semicrystalline, bioresorbable polymers that have been widely used in a number of applications. No other bioresorbable materials can fully replace PGA in tissue engineering. Understanding degradation mechanisms in PGA is important for improving the efficiency and effectiveness in various fields including implantation. This review begins with a discussion on terminology of polymer degradation and hydrolytic degradation mechanism with a delineative model. This review also focus on previous degradation studies taking advantage of its fast-degrading behavior and the mechanism behind hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) being the sole solvent for PGA. Finally, the merits of PGA are discussed with many potential future applications along with their associated challenges.

“…Over the past three decades, suture anchors (variations in size and suture types, metal or plastic polymer) have been widely used to treat soft tissue pathologies and other musculoskeletal disorders, such as repair of bankart lesions, biceps tenodesis, acromioclavicular joint dislocation reconstruction, deltoid repair and capsulolabral repair (8). However, despite good to excellent outcomes in most studies, there are no gold standard guidelines described for suture anchors use in arthroscopic labral repair (9,(16)(17)(18)(19).…”

“…Open bankart repair was considered the gold standard procedure in the treatment of traumatic anterior instability; however, arthroscopic repair methods are frequently used recently (2). In addition, the results after the first arthroscopic labrum repair were not at the desired clinical and functional level but improved with the development of anchor and hand tools used in parallel with the developments in technology (8). Conventional metal suture anchors, one of the most commonly used fixation materials in arthroscopic labrum repair, initially cause problems such as loosening, migration, cartilage loss, revision repair difficulty and magnetic resonance imaging as indicated in the literature (10)(11)(12).…”

Aim: To compare the clinical results after arthroscopic bankart repair with all-soft suture anchor and conventional metal anchor in physically active patients with traumatic anterior shoulder instability. Material and Methods: A total of 32 patients who met eligibility criteria were included between 2016 and 2017 years, for arthroscopic bankart repair in a single orthopedic department. The patients were examined into 2 groups as 17 underwent repair with 1.8 mm all-suture anchor with 2 (5 metric) Hi-Fi® sutures (Y-knot® flex, Conmed, USA) (group 1), and 15 underwent repair with conventional titanium 3.5 mm Suture Anchors with two preloaded ultrabraid sutures (TWINFIX, Smith & Nephew) (group 2). Clinical and functional outcomes were assessed pretreatment, and final follow-up using the American shoulder and Elbow surgeons (ASES) score and the ROWE score. Results: The mean ASES score increased significantly in group 1 from 35.62±8.46 to 88.86±6.23 (p=0.0001) and had increased significantly in group 2 from 41.15±14.51 to 91.15±7.54 (p=0.0001). The mean ROWE score had increased significantly in group 1 from 48.82±11.25 to 85.00±10.00 (p=0.0001) and had significantly increased in group 2 from 45.67±9.61 to 87.67±10.15 (p=0.0001). There was no significant difference between the mean ASES scores of group 1 and group 2 (p=0.192, p=0.353), and also no significant difference between the mean ROWE scores of group 1 and group 2 (p=0.404, p=0.461) at pretreatment and final follow-up respectively. Conclusion: Arthroscopic bankart repair with an all-soft suture anchor demonstrated comparable clinical and functional results as the conventional metal suture anchor at short term follow-up.
