Description
In this presentation, Erica Kholline from Jakarta discusses the history and current status of open Bankart surgery, a procedure used for treating anterior shoulder instability. Erica highlights the contributions of Arthur Bankart, who popularized the procedure in the early 20th century, despite its original invention by Georg Perthes. She questions whether open Bankart surgery has become obsolete in light of modern techniques, specifically comparing it with arthroscopic surgery.
The talk covers important topics such as the evolution of surgical techniques, the challenges surgeons face with failure rates, and common errors that can occur during the procedure. Erica explains that, despite advancements in arthroscopic methods, open Bankart surgery remains a prevalent option due to its effectiveness.
Throughout the presentation, Erica showcases case studies and research findings, detailing outcomes of patients who have undergone both open and arthroscopic Bankart repair surgeries. She emphasizes the importance of correct surgical techniques and the anatomical considerations related to maintaining shoulder stability. Finally, she concludes that open Bankart repair is still a viable option in orthopedic surgery, particularly for athletes and patients with prior surgical failures. The engaging talk illuminates the ongoing relevance and life of Bankart repair in modern medicine.
