Arthroscopic Bankart repair is widely accepted as the method of choice in restoring the labrum to the glenoid rim. It has been shown to have comparable outcomes with open stabilization. This usually involves the use of 2 portals anteriorly: one anterosuperior accessory portal and another anteroinferior working portal. The aim of this Technical Note is to present a simple and reproducible technique for Bankart repair using a single working portal anteriorly without an accessory portal.
