Suture anchor selection

1. Many design features including suture type, anchor size and geometry, and anchor material, play a role in the overall strength of the anchor. In addition, technical considerations such as implant orientation, pattern, and location may affect the ultimate success of the repair. 2. Multiple fixation points provide a biomechanically sounder construct in Bankart repair. The size of the glenoid and its rim make anchor size a critical consideration in implant selection and implementation.
