Arthroscopic Bankart Repair for Primary versus Recurrent Instability in Athletes

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Owen Hurley presents the findings of a study comparing the outcomes of athletes treated with primary or recurrent instability using arthroscopic bankart repair. The study included 100 patients with similar demographics, and the mean follow-up was five years. The results showed no significant difference in the rate or level of return to play between the two groups. However, athletes with recurrent instability had a slightly quicker return to play by about a month. The study also found no significant difference in recurrence rates, although there was a slight difference in glenoid bone loss. The study has limitations, such as its retrospective nature and being a single surgeon series. Overall, arthroscopic bankart repair showed excellent clinical outcomes for athletes with shoulder instability. Hurley expresses gratitude to his co-authors, senior author Mr. Hannan Mullet, NYU, and SSC for their support during his thesis.
