Comparison between metal and biodegradable suture anchors in the arthroscopic treatment of traumatic anterior shoulder instability: a prospective randomized study

Abstract

At a short-term follow-up, differences between arthroscopic shoulder stabilization with metal and biodegradable suture anchors were not statistically significant. Clinical relevance of the study is that there is no difference in the use of metal or biodegradable suture anchors for the arthroscopic treatment of shoulder instability.
