There is a fracture of the anteroinferior aspect of the glenoid rim, displaced fragments are identified. 

Case Discussion

Bony Bankart lesions occur when some of the glenoid bone is broken off with the anterior labrum. This leads to loss of the normal bumper  (labrum) and also loss of bone, making the shoulder joint potentially more unstable than a Bankart tear alone.
