Specialized Toolkit Series: Shoulder Instability-Keys to a Successful Arthroscopic Bankart Repair

Keys to a Successful Arthroscopic Bankart Repair

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This talk on successful Bankart repair emphasizes patient selection and understanding the full extent of shoulder injury, as Bankart lesions rarely occur alone. Key surgical principles include precise anatomic restoration of the capsular labral complex, thorough preparation of bone and soft tissues, repair of posterior injuries, and closure of the rotator interval. Double-loaded anchors and careful capsule shifting are crucial. Rehabilitation avoids passive motion initially to protect the repair. Preserving all soft tissues and addressing associated lesions leads to high success rates arthroscopically. Overall, anatomic arthroscopic Bankart repair delivers excellent outcomes when properly executed.
