Previous literature has demonstrated that an increased number of preoperative anterior shoulder instability episodes is associated with recurrent anterior shoulder instability after arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR). However, a threshold for the number of preoperative instability episodes that increases the risk of recurrent anterior shoulder instability is not well established.
A threshold of ≥2 preoperative anterior shoulder instability episodes best predicted recurrent anterior shoulder instability after ABR. Stratification beyond 1 versus ≥2 preoperative anterior shoulder instability episodes did not increase predictive ability. This finding may help surgeons to counsel patients and consider earlier surgical stabilization in those who have sustained anterior shoulder instability episodes.
