Arthroscopic Techniques to Stabilize Glenoid Bony Bankart Fragments

ABSTRACT: A bony Bankart lesion is an avulsion of the labroligamentous complex associated with an anterior glenoid rim fracture. Bony Bankart lesions can be seen in up to 70% of traumatic shoulder dislocations. With such a high prevalence, the development of an optimal repair technique is important. Selection of the most appropriate repair method depends heavily on the individual hard- and soft-tissue characteristics of the presenting lesion, as well as surgeon experience with the various repair options. We describe 3 arthroscopic Bankart fixation techniques (labrum alone, transosseous, and double row) to address a range of presenting Bankart pathologies. Technique Video Video 1 Three arthroscopic methods for repair of bony Bankart lesions: labral fixation, transosseous fixation, and double-row fixation. Clinical examples of each method are shown for both left and right shoulders with lateral decubitus patient positioning.
