Core Tip
Core Tip: The management of chronic anterior shoulder instability accompanied by a Bankart lesion and Rockwood IIIA acromioclavicular joint dislocation is rare. In this case, the patient underwent combined arthroscopic Bankart repair and acromioclavicular joint stabilization with an adjustable Endobutton fixation system. The findings indicate that both conditions can be successfully managed in a single minimally invasive procedure.
