A Bankart lesion is a tear of the anteroinferior glenoid labrum, most commonly causing recurrent shoulder dislocations. Surgical treatment aims to anatomically reattach the labrum and restore joint stability.
Titanium-Based Anchors
High mechanical strength.
Preferred in young, high-demand patients.
PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) Anchors
Biocompatible and radiolucent (does not interfere with MRI/CT).
Useful in patients requiring postoperative imaging.
Titanium + PEEK Hybrid Anchors (Knotless Systems)
Titanium tip facilitates bone entry, PEEK body ensures fixation.
Knotless design reduces surgical time.
Knotless Systems
Widely used in modern arthroscopy.
Available in both PEEK+PEEK and PEEK+Titanium versions.
Young patients with high bone quality: Titanium or PEEK+Titanium
Patients requiring imaging follow-up: PEEK or PEEK+PEEK
When speed and minimally invasive approach are prioritized: Knotless systems
