We at our institution have long held the same belief that if surgery is considered for the management of this specialized group of patients, Bankart repair for first-time dislocation results in greater patient satisfaction and a reduction in the risk of recurrent instability as compared with other surgical treatments. We are also encouraged by the report of greater cost-effectiveness in the longer term.
