Purpose: To compare functional outcomes, recurrence rate, range of motion (ROM), and return to sport between arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage (BR) and open Bankart repair with inferior capsular shift (OBICS) in contact and collision athletes with recurrent anterior shoulder instability.

Methods: A prospective comparative cohort study of 90 patients separated into 2 study groups (OBICS and BR) of 45 collision and contact athletes each was conducted. All athletes had subcritical glenoid bone loss ≤10% and off-track Hill-Sach lesions.

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluated a hybrid fixation technique (HFT) combining screws and biological support to treat large unstable juvenile osteochondritis dissecans (JOCD) lesions in patients ≤18 years old.
  • Thirteen patients (15 knees) were treated, with evaluations conducted at least one year post-surgery using clinical scales and MRI to assess outcomes and integration of grafts.
  • Results showed high clinical scores, good graft integration, and most patients returned to sports within about 8 months, although some required additional surgery for hardware issues.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the functional outcomes, recurrence rate, range of motion (ROM) and return to sports activities between arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) versus arthroscopic Bankart/SLAP repair (ABR/S) in limited contact-athletes with a type V SLAP lesion in the scenario of recurrent anterior shoulder instability (RASI). Our hypothesis was that there is no difference between the two treatments.

Methods: Two groups of 45 limited-contact athletes with type V SLAP lesion were created.

Introduction: Open Bankart repair plus inferior capsular shift has not yet been tested under the concept of glenoid track as a predictor of failure. The aim of this study was to compare the subjective and objective outcomes in collision athletes with subcritical glenoid bone loss and on-track Hill Sachs lesions versus those with off-track Hill Sachs lesions, all treated with open Bankart repair.

Methods: Two study groups were created: 50 patients had on-track Hill Sachs lesions, while 38 had off-track lesions.
