Kevin D. Plancher, MD, MPH is pleased to announce the publication of Failure Rates in Contact versus Non-Contact Athletes Following Arthroscopic Inferior Capsular Shift at 10-Year Follow-Up in Volume: 9 Issue: 10 of Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, October 29, 2021. Arthroscopic Bankart repair has become the surgical procedure of choice for many in the United States, over the Latarjet in Europe, for first time anterior shoulder instability with minimal bone loss, less than 20%. However, high recurrence rates in contact athletes have led many to proceed with open type procedures.
Dr. Plancher and his colleagues purpose was to compare failure rates and functional outcomes of the arthroscopic inferior capsular shift in contact and non-contact athletes. They hypothesized that contact and non-contact athletes would exhibit excellent functional outcomes and return to sport with low recurrence rates.
