Symptomatic interarticular migration of glenoid suture anchors.
There have been numerous modifications of Bankart's initial description of glenoid labral repair to help simplify and facilitate this procedure. One of the more common devices used for this purpose has been the suture anchor. The authors report a case of interarticular migration of the suture anchor used for anterior capsular stabilization in the shoulder. Surgeons need to be aware of this potential complication, especially in patients who have had suture anchors placed and develop mechanical symptoms postoperatively.
