Arthroscopic repair for anterior shoulder instability with a Bigliani type I glenoid rim fracture

Arthroscopic Stabilization in Patients with an Inverted Pear Glenoid

“…The classic condition resulting in anterior shoulder instability is the Bankart lesion, 4 which denotes an avulsion of the anteroinferior capsulolabral ligamentous structures off the glenoid rim, frequently fracturing a piece of the inferior glenoid as well. 3,4,6,32,35,36,40,46 The pathologic injuries in shoulder instability include many combinations of labral tears, bony Bankart injury, and stretch of the anterior portion of the inferior glenohumeral ligament. 5,38 Traditionally, open stabilization, as first described by Bankart, 4 has been the treatment of choice, with a low rate of recurrent dislocation.…”

Arthroscopic repair of bony Bankart lesions in collision athletes

“…[8][9][10][11][12]23 Various arthroscopic techniques show promise for successful treatment of bony Bankart lesions. 9,13,[22][23][24] Furthermore, a histological analysis of the bone fragment by Fuji et al 25 has shown that the fragment seemed to be viable and could be used to treat the defect, showing that mobilization and fixation of these lesions can produce good results.…”

Arthroscopic reduction and cannulated screw fixation of a large anterior glenoid rim fracture

“…9,11,12,18 In contrast, only a few case reports and case series have reported arthroscopic techniques for surgical treatment of larger anterior glenoid rim fractures. 1,3,16,17 Cameron 3 in 1998 was the first to describe a successful arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation with a single 3.5-mm partially threaded cancellous screw.…”

“…13 Arthroscopic glenoid fracture repair offers advantages of enhanced visualization and diminished morbidity, but published studies into the arthroscopic treatment of glenoid rim fractures have been limited to a few case reports and case series. 1,3,12,17,18 These reports have described arthroscopic suture anchor fixation, transglenoid suture fixation, and arthroscopic screw fixation. We describe the arthroscopic reduction and fixation of a large glenoid rim fragment with the combination of a 3.5-mm cannulated screw and 2 suture anchors.…”
