Data on redislocation rates, functional outcomes using the Kujala score, and complication rates were recorded. A meta\u2010analysis was used to pool the mean postoperative Kujala score, as well as calculate the proportion of patients sustaining redislocation episodes using a random effects model. Quality assessment of included studies was performed for all included studies using the MINORS and Detsky scores.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 19 studies and 1,165 patients were included in this review.
