Abstract

The debate between arthroscopic Bankart repair versus the Latarjet technique for patients with anterior shoulder instability largely hinges on the argument between redislocation rate versus complication rate. This difference becomes more apparent when considering patients with bone loss. We believe that Bankart “plus” techniques, including arthroscopic anatomic bone grafting, create a stable shoulder with a low instability recurrence rate, while maintaining a complication rate comparable to the Bankart repair.
