Video Summary

In this video, the senior surgeon and colleagues discuss a study comparing the outcomes of patients with and without GLAD (glenolabral articular disruption) lesions after undergoing arthroscopic Bankart surgery. GLAD lesions were previously thought to be a risk factor for recurrent instability, but this study found that patients with GLAD lesions experienced similar improvements in patient-reported outcomes and had similar rates of recurrent instability and revision compared to those without GLAD lesions. The study also found that GLAD lesion size and certain surgical techniques did not impact outcomes. However, the study had a relatively small sample size and variable reliability in assessing GLAD lesions on MRI. Overall, the findings suggest that arthroscopic Bankart repair effectively improves outcomes for patients with GLAD lesions.
