Abstract

The purpose of this article was to compare the anatomy and biomechanics of different suture repair configurations for arthroscopic Bankart lesion repair. The horizontal mattress technique improves the restoration of labral height and decreases capsular strain in comparison to simple suture repairs. Further research examining the clinical outcomes of horizontal mattress suture technique is required for comparison with simple suture arthroscopic Bankart repairs.
