Arthroscopic Latarjet yields better union and prevention of instability compared to arthroscopic  bony Bankart repair in shoulders with recurrent anterior instability: a systematic review

ConclusionCompared to arthroscopic Latarjet, arthroscopic bony Bankart repair results in significantly (i) higher rates of recurrent instability (14% vs 4%), (ii) lower union rates (63% vs 98%), but (iii) slightly lower pain on VAS (0.45 vs 1.17). There were no differences in complication rates, clinical scores, or postoperative ranges of motion.Level of evidence IV.
