Single Working Portal Technique with 70-Degree Arthroscope for Arthroscopic Bankart Repair

The Bankart lesion is a common injury to the labrum in the shoulder joint, usually resulting from anterior shoulder dislocation. Arthroscopic Bankart repair is a surgical technique used to treat recurrent dislocations by reattaching the labrum to the glenoid rim using suture anchors. Typically, 3 portals are created: 1 for visualization and 2 for instrumentation. However, this Technical Note proposes a single working portal approach using a 70° arthroscope from the posterior portal. This technique enhances visualization and prevents portal jamming, particularly in cases with a small rotator interval.
