ER loss with the arm at side was collected, along with postoperative Rowe score, return to previous sport level, instability recurrence, reintervention, and noninstability complications. Dichotomous variables were assessed using odds ratios with 95% CIs, and continuous variables were analyzed using mean differences (MDs) with 95% CIs. A random-effects meta-analysis was used for continuous outcomes and dichotomous outcomes.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In total, 27 studies were included, consisting of 2100 patients: 824 in BR, 378 in REMP, and 898 in LAT groups. The mean ER loss was 6.8°± 11° after BR, 9.3°± 12.6° after REMP, and 0.8°± 20.4° after LAT. Comparing REMP and BR, the MD was 5.9° (<i>P</i> = .13); between REMP and LAT, the MD was 9.6° (<i>P</i> = .17). For Rowe scores, the MD was 3.46 (<i>P</i> = .49) between REMP and BR and 0.24 (<i>P</i> = .9) between REMP and LAT. Odds ratios for return to previous sport level were 1.08 (<i>P</i> = .84) for REMP versus BR and 1.62 (<i>P</i> = .09) for REMP versus LAT. Regarding instability recurrence, the odds ratio was 6.67 (<i>P</i> = .04) for REMP versus BR and 1.43 (<i>P</i> = .48) for REMP versus LAT. The odds ratio for reoperation for BR was 7.69 (<i>P</i> = .05) compared with REMP, and the odds ratio for complications for LAT was 6.25 (<i>P</i> = .02) compared with REMP.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Remplissage reduces instability recurrence compared with isolated Bankart repair without any statistically significant difference in postoperative ER deficit.
