Arthroscopic Posterior Bankart Repair Using the Wilmington Portal to Facilitate Suture Anchor Implantation.

ABSTRACT: Posterior shoulder instability (PSI) accounts for 2% to 10% of all shoulder instability, with recurrent posterior subluxation being the most common type. One of the most important risk factors is the presence of an anterior humeral notch (so-called reverse Hill-Sachs lesion), and the most common lesion in PSI is a posterior labral lesion. When conservative treatment fails, surgery is recommended to provide long-term stability, manage pain, and enable a return to previous activity levels. Most posterior labral tears are treated by an arthroscopic posterior Bankart procedure. Visualization of the posterior aspect of the glenohumeral joint is technically challenging in this procedure. The instrumental portal is also a matter of concern because there is no rotator interval posteriorly for cann
