Pitfalls to Avoid When Performing Arthroscopic Bankart Repair

- Failure to address concomitant pathology (i.e., glenoid bone loss or Hill-Sachs lesions)

- Place anchors on the glenoid face, not along the anterior glenoid rim.

- Failure to shift and plicate tissue will lead to excessive capsular volume

- Failure to use multiple points of fixation (<4-6) will lead to a weak repair

- Return to play before proper healing and rehabilitation (around 6-9 months depending on quality of tissue and repair)
