Abstract
Symptomatic anterior glenohumeral instability secondary to a Bankart lesion may require surgical reconstruction and repair of labral pathology. In this report, a Bankart repair was performed using metallic suture anchors. An infection developed around the anchors necessitating their removal. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an infection associated with a suture anchor device.
