Double-Row Bony Bankart Bridge for Large Bony Bankart Lesions: Technical Considerations

Anterior shoulder dislocations frequently cause glenoid labral pathology in the form of a Bankart lesion. Some patients also present with a concomitant fracture of the anterior glenoid rim, termed a bony Bankart lesion. A variety of approaches exist to treat and repair the lesion, depending on factors such as bone fragment size, acuity of injury, and patient activity level. This Technical Note describes the bony Bankart bridge, the authors' preferred technique for treating large bony Bankart lesions, consisting of a double-row suture anchor fixation.
