Arthroscopic Bennett Lesion Resection and Posterior Labral Repair Using All-Suture Anchors.

Abstract

The Bennett lesion is an extra-articular ossification at the posteroinferior glenoid rim that is common among overhead-throwing athletes. While the majority of these exostoses are asymptomatic, some may cause posterior shoulder pain during throwing motion and frequently have concomitant posterior labral tears. Multiple approaches to Bennett lesion resection have been described, and there is debate regarding the need for capsulotomy, posterior labral repair, and capsular repair. The purpose of this article is to describe our preferred surgical technique for arthroscopic Bennett lesion resection and posterior labral repair using knotless all-suture anchors.
