2021 Annual Meeting Shoulder Access Pass-Arthroscopic Bankart Repair for Primary versus Recurrent Instability in Athletes

Arthroscopic Bankart Repair for Primary versus Recurrent Instability in Athletes

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Owen Hurley presented his PhD research on shoulder instability in athletes, comparing outcomes of arthroscopic Bankart repair for primary versus recurrent instability. A retrospective study matched 100 patients by demographics and followed them for five years. Results showed no difference in return-to-play rates or level between groups, though those with recurrent instability returned about a month earlier, potentially due to prehabilitation from previous physiotherapy. Both groups had low re-dislocation rates (<10%). Limitations included retrospective design, slight group differences, and single-surgeon data. Overall, Bankart repair provided excellent outcomes and high return-to-sport rates for both primary and recurrent shoulder instability cases.
