Abstract: The optimal management of anterior shoulder instability continues to be a challenge. The presence of an anterior glenoid rim fracture in the context of a glenohumeral dislocation, also called "bony Bankart lesion," can alter therapeutic behavior. Reduction and fixation of the bone fragment has been shown to greatly reduce the risk of recurrence once bone consolidation is achieved. However, there is no gold standard surgical technique. Stability of fixation and the healing of the bony fragment are still a concern, and there are no clinical studies comparing the different techniques to date. The aim of this report is to describe an arthroscopic double-point fragment fixation technique in lateral decubitus for the treatment of an acute traumatic shoulder dislocation with a bony Bankart lesion.<br /> (© 2020 by the Arthroscopy Association of North America.
