A Bankart lesion is a tear in the anteroinferior capsulolabral complex within the shoulder, occurring in association with an anterior shoulder dislocation. These injuries can result in glenoid bone loss, decreased range of motion, and recurrent shoulder instability. Successful repair of these lesions has been reported in the literature with repair constructs that have three points of fixation. However, the definition of \u201cone point of fixation\u201d is yet to be fully elucidated. \nMaterials and Methods: A consecutive series of arthroscopically repaired Bankart lesions were evaluated pertaining to the points of fixation required to achieve shoulder stability. This included the number, position, and types of anchors used. Patients consented to complete a series of surveys at a minimum of two years postoperatively. The primary outcome was to determine recurrent instability via the UCLA Shoulder Score, the ROWE Shoulder Instability Score, and the Oxford Shoulder Score. A secondary outcome included pain on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS).  \nResults: There were 116 patients reviewed, 46 patients achieved three points of fixation in their surgical repair via two anchors and 70 patients achieved a similar fixation with three or more anchors. There was no significant difference in the mean age, gender, or body mass index (BMI). Patients receiving two anchors demonstrated recurrent instability 8.7% of the time (4 of 46 patients). Patients who received three or more anchors demonstrated recurrent instability 8.6% of the time (6 of 70 patients). Overall, there was no statistical significance between the number\/types of anchors used. Between the two cohorts, there was no statistically significant difference found between VAS, ROWE, UCLA, and Oxford Scores. There was a significant difference in pain reported on the VAS scale with an average VAS score of 0.43 versus 2.5 in those without and with recurrent instability respectively. \nConclusion: Contention still exists surrounding the exact definition of \u201ca point of fixation\u201d in arthroscopic Bankart repairs. Three-point constructs can be created through a variety of combinations including anchors and sutures, ultimately achieving the goal of a stable shoulder.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.52198\/21.sti.38.os1411","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,8]],"date-time":"2021-04-08T14:57:52Z","timestamp":1617893872000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Recurrent Instability after Arthroscopic Glenoid Labral Repair with a Minimum of Three Points of Fixation: Do the Number of Anchors or Fixation Points Correlate to Outcomes?"],"prefix":"10.52198","author":[{"given":"Sean","family":"Mc Millan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics Virtual Health Systems Burlington, New Jersey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brian","family":"Fliegel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics Rowan School of Osteopathic Medicine Stratford, New Jersey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Stark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics Rowan School of Osteopathic Medicine Stratford, New Jersey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Ford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics Inspira Health Network Vineland, New Jersey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manuel","family":"Pontes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Business Rowan School of Osteopathic Medicine Stratford, New Jersey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Markowitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics Rowan School of Osteopathic Medicine Stratford, New Jersey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"18996","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"1.
