Anterior shoulder instability, especially in contact athletes, is a relatively common sports pathology. Despite refinements in arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR), recurrent instability and reoperation remain concerns in younger overhead and contact athletes. Remplissage has gained popularity through the years when used in conjunction with ABR. Adding remplissage to arthroscopic Bankart repair may lower the risk of recurrent instability. The purpose of this clinical commentary is to provide an evidence-based overview of arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage, including technique, biomechanics, outcomes, and indications.
