Video Summary

Rory Viswani presents a study on predicting recurrent instability after arthroscopic Bankart repair by measuring labral and capsular volumes using a novel 3D MRI method. Reviewing 95 patients, the study found that a higher number of preoperative dislocations and small labrum size significantly increase postoperative dislocation risk. Patients with small labrums were four times more likely to experience failure, and risk escalated with more dislocations. Capsular volume was not linked to instability. The method involved 3D modeling via Vitreous software and qualitative labral size assessment. Early stabilization and augmentation may benefit high-risk patients.
