Results show similar outcomes and high revision surgery rates in adolescent patients with bony or soft-tissue Bankart repairs, indicating persistent instability issues.
BB was associated with larger glenoid diameters, male sex, and collision injuries, but outcomes did not appear to vary when compared with NBB shoulders, refuting the hypothesis that bony Bankart shoulders would have poorer short-term to mid-term outcomes over time compared with those with only soft-tissue injury. Recurrent instability and revision surgery rates remain high in this youthful population regardless of the presence of a bony Bankart-associated anterior instability.
