The literature suggests that both
arthroscopic posterior Bankart repair (APB) and posterior bone
block (PBB) are effective procedures in the short to medium term,
although recurrence and revision rates do not appear to be
negligible. However, fewer studies, especially comparative ones,
are available regarding the long-term outcomes of these
procedures.
In conclusion, at a mean follow-up of 5 years
for APB and 12 years for PBB, the APB group had a similar
recurrence rate but fewer complications and revisions compared with
the PBB group. Both techniques resulted in good to excellent
clinical and functional outcomes, as well as high satisfaction and
RTS rates.
