The failure rate of arthroscopic Bankart repairs in patients over 30 was higher than previously reported. Specifically, patients with an ISIS >3 and bony glenoid defects and/or Hill-Sachs lesions > 15% may be at higher risk for recurrent instability following an isolated arthroscopic Bankart repair. Alternative stabilization techniques may need to be considered for this subset of patients.
