Abstract

As technology continues to improve, surgeons must regularly re-evaluate techniques to improve efficacy and outcomes. The Bankart repair for shoulder instability has evolved from open reconstruction to minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques, which have the benefit of less pain and morbidity. This technical description and video present a modern arthroscopic technique for Bankart repair used at our institution with high success in an athletic population.
