Can capsular plication compensate the lack of one suture anchor in an arthroscopic three suture anchor Bankart repair? A comparative study.

CONCLUSIONS: Arthroscopic repair of labral Bankart lesions with both techniques showed good functional outcomes and stability at the latest follow-up. Higher recurrence rate despite the shorter average follow-up of group B suggests that two anchor usage might not be sufficient for Bankart repair in terms of better stability and less recurrence risk. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, Therapeutic Study. PMID: 31047773 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
