Pearls and Pitfalls of Bankart Lesion Repair Methods

	Pearls	Pitfalls
Labrum-alone method	Pass all sutures prior to tying knots.	Avoid tying knots prior to passing all sutures because this makes subsequent suture passage more difficult.
	Ensure appropriate portal positioning with spinal needle prior to cannula placement.
	Mobilize bony fragment to allow for reduction.
Transosseous method	Pass all sutures prior to tying knots.	Avoid tying knots prior to passing all sutures because this makes subsequent suture passage more difficult.
	Ensure appropriate portal positioning with spinal needle prior to cannula placement.	Note that bony fragment size may be too small to prevent fragment fracture.
	Mobilize bony fragment to allow for reduction.
Double-row method	Pass all sutures prior to tying knots.	Avoid tying knots prior to passing all sutures because this makes subsequent suture passage more difficult.
	Ensure appropriate portal positioning with spinal needle prior to cannula placement.
	Mobilize bony fragment to allow for reduction.
