"This lesion is named after Arthur Sydney Blundell Bankart (1879-1951) 6, a British orthopaedic surgeon. In his original paper, Bankart described avulsive injury of the fibrocartilaginous soft tissues along the anteroinferior glenohumeral joint occurring in association with anterior shoulder dislocation."
"Strictly speaking, a "Bankart lesion" refers to an injury of the labrum and associated glenohumeral capsule/ligaments (see History and etymology below). Injury to these reinforcing soft tissue structures is thought to predispose to recurrent dislocation 7."

"Bankart lesions occur as a direct result of anterior dislocation of the humeral head, whereby the humerus is compressed against the labrum. There is detachment of the anteroinferior labrum from the underlying glenoid, and the labral tear may extend further superiorly or posteriorly. Impaction fracture of the anteroinferior glenoid margin commonly co-occurs."
