Video of arthroscopic bankart repair (recurrent shoulder dislocation surgery)

Recurrent shoulder dislocations produce the so called bankart lesion i.e. detatchment of the capsule labrum complex from the anterioinferior glenoid. The standard of care for this injury is to repair this lesion. It is now done arthroscopically as is shown in the video. Latest arthroscopic instrumentation & state of the art bone anchors as shown here help the surgeon to do a consistent, predictable soft tissue reattachment. The same operation can be done through an open incision, but inadvertently some motion, especially external rotation is lost after the open surgery & hence recovery is also proportionately delayed.
