Arthroscopic Bankart repair with or without remplissage: a single-institution cost comparison.
Article in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundRemplissage is a useful adjunct to repair of the anteroinferior glenoid labrum in the treatment of anterior shoulder instability. This study aimed to compare costs and clinical outcomes between isolated arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) and ABR with remplissage.
methodsThis was a retrospective study of all patients who underwent arthroscopic treatment of anterior shoulder instability between June 2011 and August 2021. Patient, procedural factors, and clinical outcome data were collected. Financial data was reported as "relative costs". The best fit circle method was utilized on MRI to estimate glenoid bone loss (GBL) and the Hill Sachs Interval (HSI). Using the glenoid track, patients were determined to either have 'on' or 'off' track lesion.
results48 patients who underwent ABR alone and 49 patients who underwent ABR with remplissage were matched and included in analysis. There was no significant difference in total cost, mean number of dislocations, ED visits, or revision surgery between isolated ABR and ABR with remplissage. The remplissage cohort had a significantly higher rate of "off-track" lesions (24.5% vs. 6.2%, p = 0.013), % GBL (8.7% vs. 5.7%, p = 0.015) and Hill Sachs lesion size (16.7 ± 4.1 mm vs. 8.9 ± 6.9 mm, p < 0.001).
conclusionNo differences in total cost were found between ABR with or without addition of remplissage. Clinical outcomes were similar in both groups, despite a significant increase in the number of off-track lesions, HSI and GBL seen in the remplissage group. Surgeons may consider addition of remplissage in the appropriate clinical context with low concern of increased cost. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 3.
