Arthroscopic, Nonrigid Fixation of a Displaced Glenoid Fracture After Anterior Shoulder Dislocation.

ABSTRACT: Glenoid rim fractures are recognized as a risk factor for recurrent instability after anterior shoulder dislocation. In addition to traditional open treatments of bony Bankart lesions, several arthroscopic techniques of fixation and reconstruction recently have been described. We present a technique of arthroscopic nonrigid fixation for large glenoid rim fractures, as an alternative to existing procedures.
