Abstract
Bankart capsulorraphy for recurrent shoulder instability produces predictable results. Time-consuming, techni cally demanding details of the procedure, however, discourage its use. A simplified technique and new instrumentation solving these limitations was used in 69 procedures, all performed by the same surgeon. Seventy-eight percent of these procedures were re viewed independently at a minimum of 2 years followup: 77% were asymptomatic, 12% had minimal symptoms, and 11 % had residual problems. Instability recurred in six patients and was associated with a significant trau matic event in five. Thus, the inside-out Bankart modi fications were effective.
