Where this comes from

Abstract

Despite advancement in arthroscopic techniques and greater characterization of bone loss, recurrence persists following isolated arthroscopic Bankart repair. Remplissage was developed to prevent engagement of a Hill-Sachs lesion and has decreased recurrence rates compared with isolated Bankart repair. However, the procedure may result in partial loss of external rotation, and long-term studies on the impact of this range of motion loss are needed.
