Comparison of Time to Recurrence of Instability After Open and Arthroscopic Bankart Repair Techniques.

8 , 10 , 29 , 35 A review of the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) certification examination database from 2003 through 2008 for shoulder instability repair demonstrated an increasing trend toward arthroscopic Bankart repair, with the use of open Bankart repair declining among early career orthopaedic surgeons. 28 Recent studies have demonstrated a trend of equivalent outcomes and instability recurrence rates after arthroscopic and open Bankart repair. 3 , 6 – 9 , 11 , 14 , 24 , 37 The purpose of this study was to compare the time to recurrence of instability after open and arthroscopic Bankart repair techniques.
