Arthroscopic Bankart suture repair: technique and early results.
Twenty-five recurrent traumatic unidirectional anterior shoulder dislocators were stabilized arthroscopically with a transglenoid absorbable suturing technique. A Bankart lesion was documented and repaired in all cases. Postoperative follow-up averaged 17 months (range 1 year to 30 months). All results were rated excellent. All patients achieved full, painless range of motion (ROM), and no instances of postoperative instability occurred. There were no complications. The details of the operative technique are described.
