Return to Play and Failure Rates in Arthroscopic Bankart Repair in Contact Athletes-Dr. Kevin D. Plancher, M.D.

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Kelly presented on return to play after arthroscopic Bankart repair in contact/collision versus non-contact athletes. Contact athletes show 4-5 times higher recurrence rates, ranging 7.5%-50%, but non-contact athletes have lower rates. The study compared 70 athletes with large anterior inferior labral lesions, using a modified inferior capsular shift technique with multiple suture anchors. Both groups showed no significant difference in functional outcomes, range of motion, or recurrence rates (~6%). All returned to pre-injury sports. Some required revision surgery with excellent long-term results. The conclusion suggests that this surgical modification is effective for contact athletes, though further investigation on apprehension is needed.
