Core Tip

Core Tip: This paper describes reliable long-term outcomes with metallic anchors in arthroscopic shoulder stabilisation procedures. In an era where newer bioabsorbable alternatives are increasingly become more prevalent in shoulder surgery, it is important not to undermine the established role of metallic anchors. The present study contributes to the literature with evidence of successful long-term outcomes of at least 10 years in managing shoulder instability with metallic suture anchors.
