Bankart lesion
Bankart Lesion
Bankart lesion (pronounced: /ˈbænkɑːrt ˈliːʒən/) is a specific type of injury to the glenohumeral joint, specifically the anterior part of the glenoid labrum. This injury is often associated with anterior shoulder dislocation.
Etymology
The term "Bankart lesion" is named after British orthopedic surgeon Arthur Sidney Blundell Bankart, who first described this condition in 1923.
Definition
A Bankart lesion is an injury of the anterior (inferior) glenoid labrum of the shoulder due to repeated shoulder dislocation. When this happens, a pocket at the front of the glenoid forms into which the humeral head can dislocate.
