Debate Speaker #2: Arthroscopic Bankart Plus Remplissage is Safe and Reliable

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Calvo presented on superior Bankart-Remblissage over Latter-J technique for treating shoulder instability in athletes. Despite worse bone loss in Bankart-Remblissage, it showed lower recurrence rates, better return to sport, and fewer complications than Latter-J. Studies support Remblissage as the primary surgical treatment for shoulder injuries in collision athletes. Emphasizing the importance of return-to-play testing and considering patient factors like lesion depth and age for optimal outcomes. Bankart-Remblissage offers a more anatomical approach compared to non-anatomic Latter-J, with long-term success in preventing recurrence and maintaining shoulder stability.
