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

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.
