  • AJSM December 2025 Podcast: Clinical and Functional Outcomes After Arthroscopic Bankart Repair After a Median Follow-up of 23 Years

    AJSM December 2025 Podcast: Clinical and Functional Outcomes After Arthroscopic Bankart Repair After a Median Follow-up of 23 Years
    Feb 20 2026
    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 reported instability recurrence or redislocations, and 1 in 5 underwent further surgery. In patients who did not undergo further surgery, good to excellent shoulder function as well as low pain and instability levels were observed at a minimum 20 years after ABR. The presence of inferior glenohumeral laxity was associated with a higher risk for subjective reinstability, and the use of fewer anchors was associated with redislocations.

  • AJSM February 2026 Podcast: Arthroscopic Posterior Bankart Repair: Risk Factors for Recurrence of Instability

    AJSM February 2026 Podcast: Arthroscopic Posterior Bankart Repair: Risk Factors for Recurrence of Instability
    Feb 11 2026
    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. Click here to read the article.
