2021 Annual Meeting Shoulder Access Pass-Arthroscopic Bankart Repair for Primary versus Recurrent Instability in Athletes

Arthroscopic Bankart Repair for Primary versus Recurrent Instability in Athletes

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video summary discusses a study on athletes with shoulder instability treated with Bankart repair surgery. The study aimed to compare the outcomes of athletes with primary and recurrent instability. A total of 100 patients were matched based on demographics and followed up for about five years. The study found no significant difference in the rate and level of return to play between the two groups, although those with recurrent instability returned slightly sooner. However, the study had limitations including retrospective design and slight differences in patient characteristics. Overall, the study concludes that Bankart repair leads to positive outcomes and low recurrence rates for athletes with shoulder instability. The speaker thanks the co-authors and supporters.
