Abstract

A bony Bankart lesion is an avulsion of the labroligamentous complex associated with an anterior glenoid rim fracture. Bony Bankart lesions can be seen in up to 70% of traumatic shoulder dislocations. With such a high prevalence, the development of an optimal repair technique is important. Selection of the most appropriate repair method depends heavily on the individual hard- and soft-tissue characteristics of the presenting lesion, as well as surgeon experience with the various repair options. We describe 3 arthroscopic Bankart fixation techniques (labrum alone, transosseous, and double row) to address a range of presenting Bankart pathologies.
