AJSM-The "Bony Bankart Bridge" Technique for Restoration of Anterior Shoulder Stability

Summary: Dr. Peter J. Millett discusses his article from the March 2013 issue of AJSM, The "Bony Bankart Bridge" Technique for Restoration of Anterior Shoulder Stability. Background: Bony deficiency of the anteroinferior glenoid rim can cause recurrent glenohumeral instability. To address this problem, bony reconstruction is recommended in patients with glenoid bone loss more than 20% to 25%. Recent advances in shoulder surgery techniques allow for the arthroscopic reconstruction of glenoid bone defects to restore stability. http://ajs.sagepub.com/content/early/2013/01/22/0363546512472880.abstract
