[Bankart operation with the Mitek anchor system].
We would like to introduce a new technique for the operation according to Bankart, incorporating a special system of refixation (Mitek-anchor-system). Up to now, Bankart's method is worldwide known as the operation method for correcting an anterior instability. The difficulties arising from the reinsertion of the capsula onto the glenoidal rim are responsible for the numerous modifications Bankart's method suffered. The Mitek-anchor-system makes a sufficient procedure available for the open refixation of the capsula. Stable reinsertion of the joint capsula onto the anterior glenoidal rim can be performed with considerably greater ease and simplicity than with the methods described by numerous other authors. The method is also excellently suited for the open suture of the limbus. We present our operation technique after 20 operations employing this method of refixation, and at the same time point out its indication, as well as its advantages over other conventional methods.
