Bankart Lesion

 



Shoulder Dislocation 



  • Arthur S. Bankart, a British orthopedic surgeon, was the first to clearly describe the pathological lesion responsible for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation.

  • In 1923, he presented his findings in British Journal of Surgery:

    • He emphasized that recurrent dislocations were not just due to ligamentous laxity but due to detachment of the labrum and capsule from the anterior glenoid rim.

    • He described the Bankart repair, a surgical technique to reattach this detached labrum to the glenoid rim.
