We previously reported early results of a new technique using a suture anchor to perform a modified Bankart reconstruction. That study included patients from two medical centers and had an average followup of only 1 year. This report includes patients from a single center with followup extended to a mean of 42 months (range, 33 to 61). Between April 1988 and August 1991, 53 patients with recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability underwent modified Bankart reconstruction with the use of a suture anchor. Thirty-two patients met inclusion cri teria (identifiable Bankart lesion, open repair with suture anchors, and minimum followup of 2 years); 4 patients were lost to followup. There have been no complications as a result of this technique. Ninety-three percent of the patients in the study had objectively excellent or good results. There were 2 failures with recurrent anterior dislocation.

The use of a suture anchor can simplify the Bankart reconstruction. At average followup of 3 years, 26 pa tients have returned to presurgery activity levels without recurrent dislocation or subluxation. However, careful attention to anchor placement at the junction of articular cartilage and the glenoid neck is necessary to avoid technical failure.
