SymptomsShoulder instability and widespread shoulder discomfort, and catching, locking, or popping feelings in shoulders.[1]
Risk factorsAnterior shoulder dislocation and/or repeated anterior shoulder subluxations.[2]
Diagnostic methodX-ray and MRI.
Differential diagnosisAnterior labroligamentous periosteal sleeve avulsion, Rotator Cuff Tears, SLAP Lesion, Impingement, Perthes lesion, Glenolabral articular disruption, Humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament.[2]

A Bankart lesion is a type of shoulder injury that occurs following a dislocated shoulder.[3] It is an injury of the anterior (inferior) glenoid labrum of the shoulder.[4] When this happens, a pocket at the front of the glenoid forms that allows the humeral head to dislocate into it. It is an indication for surgery and often accompanied by a Hill–Sachs lesion, damage to the posterior humeral head.[5]

A bony Bankart is a Bankart lesion that includes a fracture of the anterior-inferior glenoid cavity of the scapula.[6]

The Bankart lesion is named after English orthopedic surgeon Arthur Sydney Blundell Bankart (1879–1951).[7]
