Introduction and Hypothesis: The hypothesis of this study was that the rate of recurrence of anterior instability of the shoulder after arthroscopic Bankart repair with suture anchors is higher than after coracoid bone block (Latarjet procedure).
At 5 years of follow-up, the rate of recurrent instability following arthroscopic Bankart repair was two times higher than that following the coracoid bone block procedure. Young patients who wish to practice a competitive sport or present with glenoid erosion are poor candidates for arthroscopic Bankart repair. The rate of recurrence is extremely high in unselected patients. The open Latarjet procedure results in a fairly high rate of recurrence due to technical errors.
Level of evidence: Level IV (retrospective study). Copyright remains with the authors and publisher.
