The high rates of failures and reoperations
(up to 50%) after arthroscopic posterior Bankart repair (APBR)
remain a concern.
In conclusion, in patients with recurrent
posterior instability, the presence of posterior glenoid erosion
was the main risk factor for failure after APBR. By contrast, a
posterior bony Bankart lesion did not represent a contraindication
to arthroscopic stabilization using suture anchor fixation.
