Clinical Outcome and Glenoid Morphology After Arthroscopic Repair of Chronic Osseous Bankart Lesions: A Five to Eight-Year Follow-up Study

Conclusions: Arthroscopic osseous Bankart repair is an effective primary treatment for shoulders with substantial glenoid bone loss as it provides successful outcomes without recurrence of instability once osseous union is obtained. Glenoid morphology can be normalized during the intermediate to long-term postoperative period, even in shoulders with a smaller fragment. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
