“…Many of these steps were previously not fully appreciated or taught. Additional technical steps, which were also probably not performed in earlier Bankart patients, include using a 6-o'clock anchor, which is felt by some to increase resistance to displacement compared to the traditional 3-anchor repair, 5 and double-loading the inferior anchor to create a "hospital corner" using 4 stitches in 3 anchors. 6 Not only have arthroscopic techniques changed over the past 4 decades, but so have the instruments, implants, suture materials, and indications for surgery.…”

The reported outcomes of Bankart procedures performed after 2000 are significantly better than those reported prior to that date. The cause of this improvement can be found in adherence to the specific steps outlined in the Arthroscopy Association of North America Proficiency-Based Training program, improvements in instrumentation and implants and more appropriate patient selection. What is defined as an arthroscopic Bankart has also expanded. Patientselection criteria have also changed dramatically over the past 2 decades, reflecting a better understanding of anterior shoulder instability and altering the choice of patients who should receive arthroscopic Bankart procedures. The arthroscopic Bankart with dual suture anchor remplissage is arguably the current arthroscopic gold standard for anterior shoulder "off-track" instability.
