Previous literature has demonstrated that an increased number of preoperative anterior shoulder instability episodes is associated with recurrent anterior shoulder instability after arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR). However, a threshold for the number of preoperative instability episodes that increases the risk of...

Rotator cuff (RC) tears are among the most common causes of shoulder dysfunction in sports medicine. Muscle atrophy and degeneration are important risk factors for RC tendon retearing and suboptimal recovery of shoulder function after tendon repair. Although blood flow restriction (BFR) can stimulate...

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...

Previous studies have shown that arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) for the treatment of anterior shoulder instability (ASI) may lead to high rates of instability recurrence and revision surgery at 10-year follow-up, but data on 20-year postoperative outcomes are scarce.

 

In conclusion, about 1 in 3 patients...

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...
