The Lost Art of the Open & Arthroscopic Bankart Repair

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Steve discusses the techniques and evolution of arthroscopic and open Bankart repairs for shoulder instability. Emphasizing setup, preparation, portals, and tissue handling, he advocates for lateral decubitus positioning and balanced suspension for optimal joint access. He spends significant time on labrum preparation to preserve bone and ensure healing. Techniques include using specialized portals, tissue hooks, and knotless anchors, which he now prefers. For open repairs, attention to the subscapularis split or takedown and meticulous capsular repair is vital to prevent shoulder instability. Mastery of both arthroscopic and open methods remains crucial for successful outcomes.
